I want to welcome all the readers who are coming from:
BellaMella – a very cool blog by a very cool blogger/speaker Melanie. She is into family and food. I am hooked, of course.
Everything According To Erin – many of you already know my devotion to Erin as she is a very funny blogger and the designer behind my puppy’s very preppy collar.
Today’s Get Rid of It Project #11:
I want you to go through your recipes/cookbooks. Are there 21 cookbooks/pieces of paper with recipes, etc. you could get rid of?
It is so frustrating to try to find a recipe and have to go through hundreds of pieces paper, dozens of books, and bunches of computer files to get to the two dozen recipes that I actually use.
I still have a bunch of cookbooks (I enjoy looking through them to get ideas), but I have donated several to the local Goodwill. One thing that was very helpful was that I copied the recipes I actually use that were given to me by other people and put them all into one binder divided into different categories (chicken marinades, ground beef casseroles, etc.) I tell you, if the house was on fire, I would clear out the people and the pets, grab my hard drive, and then the Kathi Cookbook.
I am going to make a special offer for the next three days. If you are one of the first five people to get rid of 21 items from your recipe collection, I will send you my cookbook, The Frozen Gourmet. Let me know by this Sunday if you did it, and Kimber will put the books in the mail on Monday!
Yeah! I did it. I will do it again next week too. I have so many I can get rid of.
Did it ! Was hard….but now I can actually FIND what I am looking for !
Thanks !

Good Morning,
Finally an item I can do! I am one of those terribly organized people so my closet already goes light to dark, short sleeve to long sleeve order. Sold all old jewelry last year to go towards opening the ministry and all costume pieces went to the shop for sale. But the recipe books are going today!!! I have my binder with favorites and family specialties like “Roger’s Salsa”. I would like to be a frozen gourmet now that the ministry is taking up sooooo much time! It would be a step up from the binder holding the take out menus that I consider my current cookbook!
Love to all
Linda
LOVE the color of the kitchen you used for your picture. Aqua and red is my new favorite color combo.
