Recipe Cards.... A thing of the past?!


One of my favorite things to do is of course COOK! I am not a gourmet chef by any means, actually if you left me in a room with a bunch a of ingredients and told me to make whatever I wanted chances are I'd fail, horribly! I am a recipe girl through and through. I of course tweak recipes to my own taste but I do always have a recipe as a base! A lot of us do! Hello Pintrest! So if you are like me most of your recipes are online, I never take the time to print and file them in an old recipe box. I just pin them and go back to them when I need. I was finding that reading off my phone was a pain and my computer forget it! Where can I put it when I have VERY little counter space... Well.... How about the tablet! YES! But wait I spent a small fortune on that puppy to risk it getting broken so I had a vision today and I made it come true!!! 

What if I MOUNT my tablet!!?!? I searched online and came up with a few things like this...


But $40? Um, no... remember people I am FRUGAL! So I started to think, what would look cute, be functional and something I already have? So I started to look around and it hit me!!! 

HOW ABOUT A PICTURE FRAME?!?! How cute would that be!!!?!?!

THIS CUTE! Just enough space for me to hit the power button too! I grabbed and 8x10 frame off my wall and went to work...

It took a little bit of work, I hat to pull out the razor blade and chip away some at the top of the frame so it can really slide in and out via the top... This is my forever home and I know that I LOVE this idea so I screwed 4 small screws in the inside of the cabinet into the frame... but you can just as easily us some 3M Picture Hanging Velcro, that stuff is STRONG it holds my weekly white board on the fridge


I am super happy with the result... I can quickly and easily reach all of my pinned recipes and if I want to catch up on the latest episode of Hart of Dixie while I whip of breakfast I can!  



Who doesn't love Hart of Dixie?!!?

I can't wait till the next time I need to cook! Tomorrow can't come fast enough!
