Start a scrapbook of family recipes

Challenge Yourself for: 30 days

Collecting family recipes puts you in touch with your history. It’s also a great way to preserve a food legacy for your children and to get in touch with people you might not have talked with for a while. This month, challenge yourself to identify people in your family who might have access to family recipes. Then, contact them to see if they have any. Save what you learn in a bound volume, computer file, or post them on a personal a website – whatever works. _(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day time frame.)_

    Several years ago my Mother gave me a family recipe book for Christmas. This is my favorite gift ever, and I use it often. I have already started a family recipe book for my Daughter.

    I started collecting the recipes from all the women in the family and put a template together for the book. Everyone is excited about it.

    I have collected family recipes for my whole life.
    My goal is to make it into a book to share.
    I have always wanted to help people eat healthier so I am going to do the nutritional for all the recipes and make suggestions how to make healthier.
