Description
I suppose if you’re making a meal planning notebook or recipe binder, it’s because something else hasn’t been working. I know that’s how it’s been for me.
The tidal wave of all things digital broke on the shores of my kitchen and while I should have felt that I had everything at my fingertips, it didn’t really feel like that.
More like drowning.
A too-small screen, the inability to quickly move from one recipe to another, the lack of big picture vision – it all culminated in meal times becoming throw-together affairs based on recipes in my head.
Meal planning felt rote and uninspired. One meal was a repeat of another. I had lost my enthusiasm for meal prep.
Enter the meal planning and recipe binder. You know the one.
Well, you do, if you’re over 30 because “analog” binders filled with recipes and magazine clippings were part of life for the home cook. And it’s a 90’s trend I think we should bring back.
Oh sure, there are apps to put everything in one place, but what about when you want to delegate meal prep to someone else?
What about when you just want to put down the phone and touch grass – or at least paper?
Now’s the time to put together a meal planning binder for the current season you’re in. And we’re going to use the Good Cheap Eats System to make it a tool to save us both time and money.
