But I still forget to write things down, so this is a good reminder. Then I don't have the, "Oh, the potatoes are crunchy again" syndrome. I have one recipe where I wrote basically, "If you make the whole thing, you will never get through it." This is one of my favorites!

It really does help when you haven't made the recipe in a while. I have several of the Fix it and forget it cookbooks. I write in the front of the cookbook which recipes I want to try. If we try one and it's not very good, then I simply cross out that recipe so I know not to do it again. I’ve done that for years. It really does help when you haven’t made the recipe in a while.

I like to write in my cookbooks and also use a highlighter on the index pages so that I can easily find my favorite recipes again.

I do not do the the cooking, but oddly enough I'm the one who buys the cookbooks. I a good at cooking, my husband just enjoys it more. I'll have to tell him to do this. LOL! I'm having one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments. This is a simple tip and yet it is something that no one ever thinks of.
