Each person developes methods that work for them.
my recipe/computer files have been lost when computer died and hard drive disappeared (on counter then vanished). Recommend hard copies for everything.
The old recipe files had sub files for desserts; cookies, cakes, pies, cobblers, cream cheese, candy, frozen, etc. Now it’s 1 file for all sweets. And those have alterations for no sugar and increase fiber. Then a file for fruit/vegetable desserts. How I’ve changed.
21st century recipes, requires 21st century categories. I added “Vegan” for daughter. And I actually like tofu. Smoothies are good for one person. Learning “overnight” techniques; oatmeal
Vegetable and whole grains are getting full. May need sub categories.
added appendix’s for gluten, umami, anti-inflammatory. Yeah! Personal change.
And age; ain’t gotten’ ’ younger. This old body requires TLC. Frying and sugar are out. Salt, large pieces of meat and lg portions are history. Need new ways to make food satisfying. Hence- umami.
Even cruising magazines. The recipes are smaller sizes. Less fat/sugar. Flavor from herbs/spices, etc.
Grocery stores have different sized cans (although this might be trickery to charge more for less). Makes me rethink my cooking. Last week made slow cooked chili verde with 1 lb pork (not 3) and new 10 oz can gr enchilada sauce. Still had leftovers.
although, makes me wonder how those new chicken can stay on their feet, do they wear support bras. Last pkg was 6 lbs boneless skinless with 6 half breasts. That’s right. Them ladies bosoms are a lb each! Genetics?
