Unique Pasta Dish – Light and Delicious

Lemon Rotini with Arugula and Asiago was inspired by a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa show that the “chef” found at the Food Network’s official site.  She modified the recipe to her taste and  I think you will find it to your liking as well.

Visit Lemon Rotini with Arugula and Asiago to find the delicious recipe for this “different way” to serve pasta.  At the recipe page you’ll also learn this “chef’s” secret ingredient which she swears by and includes in all of her cooking and a place to share your thoughts about her unique pasta dish.

Personal Recipe Binders

Until I got my own personalized recipe binder I had a huge stack of handwritten recipes.   It was always difficult to find the recipe that I was looking for and some of my recipes were so dog-eared that I was afraid I was going to lose them forever.

Creating a workable personal recipe binder takes a bit of work but if you do it the way I did, one recipe at a time, you’ll be more than happy with the results.

To start, you’ll need a binder.  You can use any binder to organize your recipes but I think it’s nicer to use a special personalized one.  I found some great, really affordable, recipe binders that you can customize with your family name, photos, or anything else that you desire and created a web page to share them with you.  You can find them by visiting Personalized Family Recipe Binders or click on the photos of the binders at the top, or bottom, of this page to search for your own favorites.

After you’ve chosen a binder, you’ll need to start copying your recipes.  I used my computer and did one or two a day so it wasn’t so overwhelming and eventually I had all of my handwritten recipes typed and printed out.

After you’ve done the hard work, you might want to laminate your new recipe pages, to protect them.  I haven’t gotten that far yet but I do plan to do that.  You’ll find complete directions for creating a family recipes cookbook, including ideas for the best ways to organize your recipes by visiting: Make a Family Recipes Cookbook.

I now keep the irreplaceable handwritten versions of my family recipes safely tucked away in a box and can always easily find the special recipe that I’m looking for in my personal recipe binder.
