My kids are fussy eaters. It’s difficult to find recipes everyone loves. I get really excited when I find a keeper. I hate it when they ask me to make something I made before, and I don’t remember where the recipe was from or how I made it. Since I have started keeping track of recipes I love I find cooking so much easier. I now have a collection of a few recipes that they love and I just keep making them over and over. I have stopped making things they don’t like. Sometimes I try a new recipe and if they like it, I add it to my recipe book. If not, I don’t. I hate cooking so I would rather make things they like than waste time on recipes that they don’t like.
The free recipe template is available in 3 different formats: recipe template for Word, Editable PDF (that you can type on), or Google Docs. You can also use our free online recipe sheet maker. Either print a blank recipe template and write the recipe on it or type the recipe before you print. You can print it on standard paper (8″x11″) or on blank recipe cards (4″x6″) – see instructions below.
