It's Week #2! I hope everybody had fun getting their gift/budget sections spiffed up.
Week #2 is Recipes/Cooking week!
~ Time to go through your recipes critically. Any you have never used or need a tweak? Make a date to test them! Your family will LOVE being taste-testers and it will make your Christmas season much more stress-free when everything is perfected.
~ Are you recipes a mess? You might want to work on organizing them. I did this recently with great results. I printed all my recipes up on the computer & put them in a lovely photo album. They are also organized by section - Everyday Meals, Christmas Favorites, Easter, Birthday Cakes, Quick Appetizers etc. It's easy to grab, everything is all in one place and everything is protected from the mess of ingredients in the plastic.
Some of you may want your Christmas recipes separate and in a book of their own. Do what works for you!
~ Don't forget to visit the Holiday Recipe Notebook forum on HH site to see what others have done for their festive recipes:

~ How about also doing an inventory of your cooking utensils and pantry? Is your bunt pan on it's last leg? Could you use a new punch bowl ladel? Make a list of things you'll want to pick up throughout the year.
What other suggestions and tasks can you suggest to everyone here for their kitchen/ recipes/ cooking section? How have you tweaked yours to your advantage? Be sure to post and let us know!
