I have a habit of 'saving' recipes that sound delicious. In the old days, I had an actual cardboard box full of recipes I'd cut out of the newspaper! And before that, I'd "handwritten" some; that was in the 70's when 'poke cakes' were so popular. I must have had a dozen of those recipes! Some had jello 'poured' into them, others had pudding.
Later, I scanned my favorite recipes into the computer, so that I now have a large folder of them; that folder is now mainly comprised of online recipes. But it does still contain many of my 'old' recipes.
Now, that probably sounds normal to many people. However--I hardly ever actually "cook/bake" any more! I have maybe 4 recipes that I actually use now. Yet, I can't resist saving/copying a new recipe that sounds delicious!
Just this morning, I 'almost' saved a recipe for a cake that I would love to eat: however, I can't actually see myself "baking" it--since it's a very compex recipe! So...what I finally decided to do is 'save' the photo--and possibly use it sometime when I want do do a theme page on 'favorite foods', etc.
As for what I actually do cook/bake from scratch:
the family recipe for homemade spaghetti sauce,
Roast Beef with potatoes and carrots,
Swiss Steak,
and two kinds of cookies.
