I used to have a card file that had a recipe on the front, a grocery list, and suggestions for side dishes on the back. I knew most of the recipes, but the kids didn't, and they sometimes helped with meals, so it worked well for us. I would pull out 6 cards every week and take them to the store, and buy the groceries on the back of the cards. They were left in a small napkin holder on the counter, and each night I would pull one, and that is what we would have. After dinner, the card went to the back of the file box. I need to dig those out and put the calorie count on the back of them. It was stupid to stop using it, but after retiring, I thought I had plenty of time and didn't need i.t. Thinking of all the systems that I had in place while working to save time and effort, I realize now that I should have kept them all in place after I stopped working. I need to revisit them. Thanks for reminding me!
