This journey on Spark has been a joy. Now that I'm on maintenance, I won't leave. I still have things to learn everyday and maybe I can help someone else along the way. I still track, though not so religiously, still do my fitness and always look for ways to improve in everything I do.

What I do about the many recipes I find in magazines....

I've decided that, altho, I want to try several of the magazine recipe's I find, I don't have to clip it out and save in a pile of clipped recipe's. What a mess! Plus, I discovered that the pile of clippings frequently gets forgotten about, anyway. This is how I "organize" AND discipline myself in not continually fixing the fancy dessert recipe I may've found, etc. If it's NOT a dessert and the recipe ends up being a keeper...I will copy it to my file of recipes.

MORE INFORMATION:
Many of the magazines feature some tantelizing dessert recipe. SO, when I've found a recipe I want to fix...I fix it only once. I DON'T clip it out & save it. I sure don't need yet another dessert recipe, anyway. Fixing it once, satisfies my curiousity.
