Yummy Inspiration {from the recipe journal}
Happy Friday everybody! I thought that I would end the week with a few images from my recipe journal. I started this journal as a way to keep lovely images of food to inspire me with my own dishes that I fix at home for my family. Usually the images consists of desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Most of these images & collage are from the Fabulous Donna Hay! I love that magazine…the photography and food styling alone just makes my mouth water.
I would like to know, how do you all find inspiration for the meals and desserts that you cook at home? Do you have recipes that have been handed down to you from family? How do you keep your recipes written down, on pretty recipe cards, or do you jot them randomly on notebook paper? Sorry for all the questions, but I am curious to know how others find inspiration for your meals!
I hope this will inspire someone to create a special meal or yummy treat! Have a lovely weekend everybody and I will be back Monday with a couple of creative interviews and fresh new posts. I am off now to go play in the sandbox with the little one! Thank you all so much who come by to visit JuBella…she just loves your company!

I normally find have a craving for a type of food, flavor, or texture and then build up from that point. If I want sweet, I think hot/cold, soft/hard, sweet/tart, etc. Then I peruse the net, or my books and voila! out pops a recipe… Some of my favorite sites give me the best ideas.

I recently went for a journal writing workshop. Somehow it was so interesting that the lady gave us lots of ideas on what we can do with our journal etc. One of that is recipe journal…
I love cooking and I have been collecting lots of recipes throughout the years etc. Now after the workshop I kind of start thinking what can I do with this season of my life.
One of the thing I can do is to put all the recipes, tips and techniques that I found out from my cooking into the journal. Maybe one day I can even publish a recipe book of my own.
I need to start dreaming. LOL
