Hello dear friends! When MaryJane shared with me that the upcoming magazine (April/May/June) will have a section on family recipes, I had just returned home from New Mexico where I spent 10 solid days helping my dear Momma turn her collection of recipes into a cookbook. My mother had started this project over 30 years ago… and due to all the normal busyness of life, that project got put in a drawer.

I love it! Dori, how did you determine the fabric to binder size? When my old boss was clearing out unused files, he let us take the large ring binders. I’ve used mine for recipes, but it’s big and black with state logos on it – so ugly! This would be the perfect solution.
I love your post! It was so sweet reading about your mother and her parents and how they and the ranch weathered the depression and other times. I would love to read more about them and their recipes, and your memories. Such a loving tribute. Your post started my Sunday so special, many thanks!
I love everything about this! Thank you for sharing and also for the detailed instructions!!! I can’t wait to make one for myself 😊. Love the fabric!
loved the story and the binder cover idea, will be trying the pattern soon, thank you!
