Use Capers in Recipes
For the longest time, I didn't know what a caper was. All I knew was those little dark green pea-size edibles tasted real good, and I couldn't get enough of them. If you don't know what a caper is (no - it's not a prank), a caper is the bud of a flowering shrub called Capparis spinosa. It's hard to believe, but just one tiny caper is packed with a long list of vitamins and minerals. This turns any recipe into a healthy one when you include capers.

Recipe cards are a handy way to keep the instructions for your favorite dishes close at hand.

This will not only create neater cards, it will also allow you to make sure that your recipe will fit before you find yourself with a full card and another page of instructions to add.
