How to Remember Your Favorite Go-To Recipes

As parents, you’re either thinking this or someone is asking this - "What’s for dinner?" You know you’ve made good recipes in the past, but your mind is drawing a blank on what they were. Or, you have some go-to favorites but you still need the actual recipe to follow but you can't find it. Is this just me?

Well, I've discovered something very handy for remembering your favorite recipes. On Google Drive there is a recipe template! Now you can document and find your favorite recipes with a simple click of the button.

Now, I've started the new habit of entering my go-to recipes into Google instead of trying to find them locked away in my brain somewhere. So easy!

Recording our favorite recipes also means we have them saved to pass down to our kids. Printing off these recipe favorites would make a good gift when they go off to college or get married.

Below is my go-to chicken and rice casserole recipe. Please share with me one of your household favorites because someone just asked me - "What's for dinner?"
