Find Recipes

Originally my recipes came from my family. I learned from both my dad and mom how to cook. My mom bakes all the time so I learned how to make cookies, cakes, and that yummy fudge she makes. Almost every weekend, my dad would make is famous breakfasts so I learned most of the frying stuff from him.

Now I find recipes from a variety of sources. I still get ideas from my mom and dad. I also buy cookbooks now and use them. Food magazines such as Bon Appetit and Everyday Food are great sources of recipes and cooking ideas.

Don’t forget the Internet. Bon Appetit’s sister site Epicurious.com is another great source of recipes. Use your favorite search engine to find a recipe. Just type in the ingredients and I’m sure something will pop up that you’ll find tasty.

Once I’ve found the recipes I like I paste them into a word processor on my computer and compile them into one folder. I name it recipes so I’ll be able to find the recipe again. I’m sure there are recipe programs out there to make it easier. I print out recipes I’ll use over and over again. I have a binder that my mom gave me as a present one year with our favorite family recipes. I use that to add more pages.
