Free Recipe Templates!

It has taken me about 2 decades to settle on how I want to keep track of my recipes. I have hand writing them on cards, typed them in categorized notebooks or booklets, saved them on my computer, saved them on many different blogs, and numerous other ideas.

I have over the past several years settled on what works the very best for me. I love having my recipes in a way that I can easily group them together into weekly meal plans. As you continue on in this Getting Started series, you will see that I assign each of my recipes to a season. For example, all of my recipes that I need to use my oven for are in my winter season. 

I also like to have my recipes made up into cards. These are the cards that I type up myself and use myself and give to my kids as they start out on their own. In this blog I thought I would share them with you. :)

Each of these below templates are created as a 4x6 photo and will fit into a mini photo album. I collect my weekly plans of these as I make them, add my shopping list and keep them for years to come.

This way of keeping recipes is certainly not for everyone, but it really works for how I plan and prepare my weekly menus. It allows me to plan once and reuse my menus and shopping list over and over again. I also don't have to hunt recipes down for a menu and wonder which folder, book or website I found it on.

Simply right click the below photos to zoom in on them and save them to your computer. I have also loaded them into a google doc so that you can directly print them. You can do that by clicking on the link above each photo.

At some point soon I will write a post on how I insert the words on each of these templates to make your own family loved recipe cards. I do this on picmonkey.com or photo shop.

Enjoy these freebies! I hope it helps you along in your journey to organize your dinner time.
