For over two years I've been wanting to make recipe cards
and get my meal planning off of my phone and into the kitchen.
(Seems more appropriate, doesn't it?)
I kept telling myself to wait until I got a handy program like Photoshop or Corel Painter, because it'd be easier and better looking.
Well, I got one of those handy programs last week, and guess where I made these recipe cards this afternoon. . .
. . .MS Word. True Story.
"Why?", you ask
Well, it's a lot harder to learn Corel Painter than I thought it would.
Lame, I know, but I'm just so comfortable with my old ways.
(Which leads me to my next project)
Learn Corel Painter
If any of you have tips/tricks please share!
(Or if you can just run a class and let me attend -fo free- that'd be great, too ツ)
What do you guys do as far as recipe cards/meal planning/eating, ha!
I'd love to hear,

These recipe cards are awesome! We were given a recipe book compiled by Vince's family when we got married. I still copy all the recipes that I use into the recipe cards in that book. It's fun to write things out and not have to read it off of the computer screen. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lindsey! I have my grandma's old cookbook with her recipe cards (just pink index cards actually) and I really want to start building off of what she gave me.
ReplyDeleteSomething about family traditions that are so heartwarming!
I don't use recipe cards for most of my cooking, the occasional family baked good yes--but not for an everyday thing. I like using apps on my phone or ipad for creating my meals for the week, and then on my ipad i can simply create my shopping list from that. Super easy, no paper to keep track of (I'll lose it) and it's all there at the touch of a button. But I do like your card design, it's cute. :-)
