Having a recipe box was a generational tradition until this generation. There is no need for a recipe box or for that matter, recipe books. Technology has compiled a rather exhaustive list of any recipe we could dream of creating.

Three generations of recipe boxes that I love looking through and blessed to have!

This one is my Grandmother's. It is the one on the bottom pictured above.

My Mother's is the middle box pictured above. She typically typed or printed her recipes on the cards so that they were more readable for others. She had a cursive scroll handwriting style. Date Roll Candy was what my brother John always wanted her to make at holiday times. She did, just for him.

I received these recipe cards from a friend many years ago. There are only a few in my recipe box, pictured on top of the stack above. (Note: I did put together a recipe box for our daughter so there are four generations of boxes, but I don't know that she has ever looked through it because she has always had the Internet to search!

Fresh Find: A great recipe box.
