Sometimes the dreaded question of my day is what's for dinner, or what do you want for dinner? Finding something different can be a pain sometimes. I love cookbooks, but I have found that I end up only liking a few recipes in each of them and they take up so much space.
I have a solution!
Buy a recipe sleeve book that you could put my favorite recipes in. Write down the recipes from the recipe books you love, and donate the book to the local library to sell. This will eliminate some clutter in your kitchen (and leave more space for Tupperware of course!) There are a lot of great recipe sites online too that you get recipes from as well. http://www.allrecipes.com/, http://www.tastefullysimple.com/ and http://www.foodnetwork.com/ are a few of my favorites. I find recipes I like and then write them down in my own recipe book and that way I have my favorite at my finger tips without the clutter. Some sites let you create a virtual recipe box too.
A great way to get started with collecting family recipes is at your bridal showers. Have an index card included in the invites to bring their favorite recipe to share with the bride. You'll get your recipe book off to a good start!
Here's Tupperware Burp Bowl Bread recipe:

3 pkgs. of yeast
6 Tablespoons sugar
6 Tablespoons melted butter
4 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten
10 cups flour

DIRECTIONS
TIP: If you don't have a Tupperware bowl, you can use a regular bowl and cover it with a dish towel. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
1. Using your Tupperware ThatsA bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the sugar and melted butter. Stir in salt and beaten eggs. Add the 10 cups of flour last.
2. Stir until thoroughly mixed (the dough will be sticky). Snap on the bowl's cover and put in warm place until the seal pops on the lid.
3. Turn out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and put into greased loaf pans. Cover pans with a damp dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Cool on racks.
