Make a Recipe Card Template

Your grandmother's famous meatloaf. Your mother's snickerdoodles. These recipes are meant to be savored, shared and preserved for future generations. Handwritten recipe cards often become smudged with food and end up in tatters before the next generation can appreciate them. Today, it is easier than ever to create a recipe card template that can be printed, filled in by hand and then laminated. Whether you use Word, Works or Open Office, creating the recipe card template is a process requiring a few steps before you're on your way to preserving your family recipes for your children and their children.

Convert a Recipe for a Convection Oven
Convection ovens operate a little differently than conventional ovens. This results in the need to convert cooking times and temperatures. Convection ovens work by circulating hot air during the cooking process. Dishes are heated equally throughout at the same time. Conventional ovens often heat from the outside in. Because of this, convection ovens cook faster than conventional ovens. Add this to my Recipe Box.
