I have at least three or more magnetized photo albums that were bound for the recycling bin til I RECYCLED THEM BY THINKING OF ANOTHER USE! I love to get my scrapbook magazine and get ideas I can use for future pages! However,I don't get ENOUGH ideas to save the magazines-only 1 or 2,so I cut out the idea and post it in the album.I also have a craft idea album ,a recipe album,and a FUN THINGS to DO with the FAMILY album that holds MAP QUEST directions to fun places we like to visit!!!

All you need is a lot of cook books, a package of index cards, and an old photo album.
I wrote the ingredients in each recipe, the name of the cookbook I found it in, the page number, and the amount of calories all on an index card. Then I slid the index card into the photo album.
You can organize it any way you want! Now each week you can look through all of your recipes and create a weeks worth of healthy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners!
Take photos and create a small album of meals you love to eat.... then on a photo sized piece of paper write out (or type) the ingredients and instructions and add to the album. When you are stumped what to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner just take a look at your album for inspiration!
If people only ate when they felt true hunger, few of us would struggle with our weight. So why (and where) are we eating so much, and what can we do about it? Start here.
