We made these recipe books last week when a few of us got together. This is a little different than the one I created a few months ago, you can see that one here. Along with putting the recipe book together, we also had a potluck. There was soooo much food there since all fourteen ladies brought a dish. We had everything from a tasty Peruvian Chicken Rice to a delicious Avocado Dessert Pie to an amazing Chicken Stroganoff. I shared my Tres Leches cake with them, you can see that recipe here and I'm happy to say I got thumbs up reviews.
Along with the potluck dish, each lady brought five recipes to share with everyone else......doing the math.... I ended up with over 60 crazy-licious recipes!!. I will share these recipes with you throughout the year. I'll bet you're still thinking of that Avocado Dessert Pie! let me just tell you, it's delicious! if you make it, your friends are not going to believe that the main ingredient is avocado. They are going to think that you don't want to share the recipe and you only said avocado because that's the first thing that came to your mind..... hehe, funny.
On to the recipe book:
Misty used the cricut machine, "From My Kitchen" cartridge, to cut out all the shapes and words
check out this tri-fold page with recipe cards:
and this is the back :
The paper clips are used to hold the recipe cards while we're cooking, cool idea!
And this is where my 60 recipes are stored, inside each paper bag:
I hope this gives you ideas for a recipe book. Hope you have a great day.
