Actually, I'm not starting another one. If you remember, about three years ago, I started a blog where I listed what I was making for dinner each night, in the hopes of collecting enough things that when the time came where I didn't know what to make, I could pull out the blog and find something that caught my fancy. And yeah, I was faithful to that blog for about two months. Then I stopped abruptly, and shortly after made it private. Now it's public again, and you are welcome to go over and see if you find a recipe you like.
Here's what I put on the sidebar:
I will only be posting recipes that: I have made at least twice (many of them are more like 20 or 200 times), and at least 3/5 of the family like it (picky kids), and I definitely plan on making it again. I give credit when I know where the recipe came from. Some have just been in the family forever.
There is definitely a finite number of recipes I will be posting. There will be no scheduled posting, and no rhyme or reason to why I post 40 dessert recipes and only 3 main dishes. (Kidding. Kind of.) You have no obligation to follow it, or even to click over. I will only promise you that they are actually recipes that we use often and love.
(And yes, I will be posting the awesomest buttermilk pancake recipe ever. Very soon.)

That is a really good idea. I've been thinking along a similar line lately. Mostly wanting a place to collect the best-loved recipes for when I am stumped in meal planning. I might steal your blog idea!
I love finding new recipes. Not that I make them, but I can pretend.
That is a really good idea! I plan on following and hope that it inspires me. Dinner is one of those things I am hoping to work on. I am kind of lazy about it....
Good idea! And I LOVE food! Thanks for sharing!
Smart! I have recipes coming out my ears, too. Every special occasion, my mom gives me a new cookbook, even though I never use them. It's hard to try new stuff when you don't know if your kids will like it. I'll have to check your food blog out!
I totally have recipe clippings that I have had for over 20 years. No joke. So not exactly organized, and interestingly enough, I hardly ever use them. Apparently I just like looking at them and planning on how great they will be if I ever make them. Looking forward to checking out your recipe blog. :)
You need to get on Pinterest (if you aren't already, I can't keep track of who all is on there.) I have found so many awesome recipes through there! Or pinned recipes I've found on there so I can find them again.
one of the reasons I started my food blog. I want to make it into a cookbook one day but I go to it for inspiration and recipes all the time!
