Recipe only has one "I"

Am I the only one that always thinks there should be an extra "I" in the word recipe? It seems I always misspell that one.

Moving on.

I've got to find a good way to keep track of new recipes I find. My normal system is to email it to myself and then either A. Save it into a folder I have on our computer and then forget it, never to actually cook it or B. forget it in my email, never to actually cook it. I have TONS of both and at this point, I need to just move on and start fresh.

I do have a bit better success with printing recipes from the internet. But even if I do cook them once or even more than once I eventually A. lose the paper. B. Tack it to my pegboard in the kitchen and forget is there, lost in all the other recipes I never actually got around to cooking. I also tend to get the paper dirty as I cook, which is annoying.

I feel pretty good about the meals I have been cooking lately. They are simple, healthy and tasty. Chad likes them too. But I know I am in danger of being in a rut. I don't want our meals to get boring because that's when we'll start going out to eat more again or eating less healthier options at home.

I think part of the problem is that I read these recipes but I don't remember to write down the ingredients I need and follow through with buying them at the grocery store. Also, the overwhelming amount of recipes out there. I need to find a few good ones to try, evaluate and then somehow keep track of so I can cook again. In addition, when it comes right down to time to cook, I often just make something up rather than actually following a recipe. Or read a recipe or two to get ideas and then take it from there. That's fine but it's too easy to stay in a rut that way and also, I can't remember what I did or how to recreate it.

Maybe this blog will be a way for me to organize my recipes, including whether I liked them?

Which brings me to a recipe I found that I would like to try. I have been pondering an idea for stuffing--one of my very favorite foods. Since I don't eat dairy and I am trying to avoid yeast and mushrooms, I have been trying to think up how to make a healthy for me stuffing that actually tastes good. I made homemade vegan stuffing for thanksgiving and it was very good, but it did contain yeast and mushrooms.

I've purchased yeast-free bread in the past and it's not that tasty. It's OK as toast (because, obviously, without yeast it's not that soft) but lately I've been just going without bread and eating wraps instead of sandwiches. Tortillas work great for everything from tuna salad wraps to even peanut or sunflower seed butter and honey wraps.

I do think that the yeast free bread would work in stuffing and/or homemade croutons, however. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Recently I stumbled across a blog, with a great recipe and photos, with a recipe for spring stuffing from Oh She Glows. I think this is it! I can combine my ideas with this and make the stuffing idea a reality. Plus, I really like the idea of adding more veggies to this recipe--something I hadn't thought of.
