Journaling recipes

A trick that I learned from a cook, plan out main meals by the week and then grocery shop. Not novel to many, but not only do I try to do that weekly, but I also make notes in a spiral notebook on the new recipes. My family gives a rating from 1-10...and sometimes I write alongside the name of the recipe, cookbook and page what I would do differently to make it more appealing.

Tonight's meal was one I have done only once before: Homestyle Ground Beef Casserole from Southern Living Comfort Foods. Really good!
