Recipe Box


While making my grocery list today, I thought to myself what in the world am I going to make this week for dinner?!

Then I remembered, my recipe box! Andy's sister gave us a very thoughtful wedding gift, a recipe box filled with her and the Kelly family favorite recipes. Laine is an excellent cook and I strive to be half as good is as she is! I have began adding my own and my mother's recipes to the collection. I want to have this collection for my children when they are ready to get in the kitchen! Or maybe one day even make a family cookbook!

There is nothing like remembering a favorite recipe that your grandmother made or you mom and you don't have it written down and they can't remember exactly what they did. Andy loved my dad's chili and I never got the chance to ask what his famous recipe is and of course it's not written down anywhere!

All you need to start your collection are index cards, a box (the size of a shoebox) and a couple recipes and your collection is started! This will be something that your family will treasure for years!
