in addition to the digital a b c book i am creating for my grandsons, ian and wyatt, i have begun a recipe book for my kiddos for christmas. major project that i know will take the remainder of the year.
i found a 4x6 template on line that i am using for each recipe: photo + recipe. i realized it would be so easy to then print out 4 sets of each 4x6 recipe just like a photo (so often one can find large discounts for printing larger numbers of photo prints in 4x6 size). then, i'll just put the recipes in a photo book for 4x6 photos; possible decorate each book and call it done. of course it will be even easier to add 'photo' recipes too!
here is just a taste to wet their whistle:
each category will be color-coded: main dishes are a deep pink. i'll probably color-code for appetizers, snacks and desserts, soups & stews, sides, sandwiches and salads
if i haven't made the recipe in a while or don't have a picture i have no problem going on line and finding a similar photo because i'm making them for family and not selling. i doubt there will be many of those because i have been taking food pictures for a long time and should be able to find what i need.
the story behind this picture is hilarious. i'd made this when ash and the boys were here and everyone scarfed that there was this tiny bit left to photograph. it got eaten too.
