When you put in magazines, it automatically includes the next issue when it's released if you subscribe. It's not the recipes it the indexes. I have about 300 books (I read them also). It's fantastic. I can also go look at the books my girlfriend has so we can plan a menu together.Lisa O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01766402581319099997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-40003860318405411582015-09-11T08:33:44.521-04:002015-09-11T08:33:44.521-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisa O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01766402581319099997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-300556748945391102015-09-08T04:32:26.936-04:002015-09-08T04:32:26.936-04:00Well done you!

About the recipes...yes, I too love to sit down with a new cookbook (from the library!) to find a new recipe or two. I sticky-tab the pages, then look up the recipe online. Most can be found on blogs. I then 'clip' them to Evernote where I keep two notebooks: My Recipes and Recipes to Try. If an ingredient is something I don't keep in stock, I capitalize that ingredient. I put this week's menu in the Shortcuts to easily find them. If something is on sale at the grocery, I can search for all recipes with that word and then I know what else to buy...its all on my phone. I LOVE EVERNOTE!!Mary-Jeaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950377914369866194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-87335625707481982442015-09-07T12:13:36.261-04:002015-09-07T12:13:36.261-04:00Wow!

I think your idea of posting needed items on a post-it note attached to the book cover is inspired! I'm going to borrow that. I use my iPhone with a "grocery" entry into my call database. I add the missing ingredients in the "notes" section as I move along through the week as I know I often forget that post-it note when I leave for the store. Love the new studio set-up. Wish B a great start to the new school year. See you soon! xoLeslie Tucker Jenisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703938583684619756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-49383736650886805582015-09-06T14:05:18.057-04:002015-09-06T14:05:18.057-04:00So envious of your enormous studio.
