    I bought 3 binder rings and a couple packs of clear plastic page protectors and used scrap paper to make my own cookbook to pass on to my daughters of all their favorite childhood recipes. I hand wrote some, cut some out of magazines or newspapers. I decoupaged pages and had my girls draw pictures to add when they were young. It's been a work in progress for 20 years. I love looking through it with all the memories. Hopefully my daughters will one day too!

    When we cleaned out my grandmothers house I asked for her recipe box. It was such a gift to have things in her own handwriting. Imagine my surprise when I found a little notebook in the back of it that had belonged to her grandmother from 1859! So I interesting to very carefully read them. It’s written like a story instead of how recipes are written today.

    I just wanted to take a minute to thank you. Your videos are always upbeat and inspiring, they give me lots of motivation when I frankly just don’t want to make dinner. Most of all, though, I want to thank you for sharing the way you store ingredients like ground beef, etc. Because of you, I now break down the large Costco size meats as soon as I get them home into quart size freezer Ziploc bags. It’s so handy! I just pull out a frozen-flat bag, and I have the main ingredient ready to go. I’ve even started cutting up London Broil for stew, chili or quesadillas before it goes into the freezer, fixing up ham for soups and pasta dishes, and portioning or cutting up boneless skinless chicken breast. Our freezer is now manageable and we are no longer afraid to open the door! I really just can’t thank you enough and wanted to express my gratitude and to wish you all the best!
    Many blessings❤️

    Kristin, I enjoyed this video! I have always enjoyed looking at cookbooks too. When I was in elementary school, all the parents contributed a few recipes and they made a cookbook of all the family recipes. It was so interesting because there were all different types of food (Italian, French, Indian, etc) as each family has its own culture and traditions. I used to read that cookbook over and over. Now it is all torn up and in pieces at my mother's house but she still has it. The recipes back then seemed so simple!

    That cookbook was sold to raise money for the United Way. It makes me feel so old that a cookbook from 1995 was in an antique shop. I was a junior in high school! 😭

    This was fun, I think it would be cool if you did more like this with different old cookbooks
