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.)_
