Here’s my MIL’s recipe for Chicken Bodine.

As to the request, I’m currently assembling a cookbook to be provided to each of my kids once they finally move out of my house. I want to give them a) a bunch of recipes that work and I know they enjoy, and b) enough variety that, no matter the situation, they have the ability to make something good. What recipes should definitely appear in the book? I’m open to all suggestions.

Context: I have three children. We regularly find new recipes (reels, allrecipes, wherever) and try them. If it’s unanimous, it goes into the rotation.

I’m planning on building a cookbook that I’ll give to each of my kids as they move out and start their journey into adulthood, full of recipes they can make that are successful. What I have are dozens of cookbooks, saved Facebook Reels and TikToks, Pinterest pins, emails, and handwritten recipes on lined paper/recipe cards/napkins/etc.

Has anybody done this? How did you start organizing? What was the finished product? My current thought is a three-ring binder with sleeves, but I’m open to suggestions. Also, because it’s the recipes sub, if you have a Must Add for our family kitchen grimoire, feel free to add it.

And also because it’s r/recipes, the pic is my wife’s Grandma’s Butterscotch Buns recipe.

I said “bet”. Currently, 66 buckets plus three grow-bags plus two raised containers. 6 tomatoes (three varieties) , 20-ish bush beans in three varieties across 9 buckets, 4 cucumber plants, three sweet potato slips, green onions, basil, oregano, rosemary, basil, and 8-10 different varieties of bell/jalapeno/habanero/cayenne peppers.
