While looking for the McDougall newsletter's recipe archives this morning, I stumbled upon a new-to-me feature at the site - a whole page of Printable Recipe Cards, featuring about 50 McDougall recipes.
When you click on a recipe, like this one for Breakfast Grains, for example, you get a page with this on it:
and depending on your printer's settings, you can print the recipe out either on paper or recipe cards to file away.
Nice! Too bad they don't have this for more recipes, like the newsletters or (hint, hint) all the recipes from various books. Too bad the size isn't consistent, though. This particular one is short enough that it would fit on a 3" x 5" index card, but this one for Apple Torte, isn't:
Notice how tiny the font looks now. It's actually the same size as the one above, but I had to change my screen's resolution to make the box small enough for my capture program to get it all into one screen. This probably wouldn't even fit on those larger 4" x 6" index cards. If the sizes were consistent for the standard index card, then the font would still be large enough to read, even if a recipe had to use 3 cards to print it all. So print them out on standard sized paper and put them into a binder to keep in the kitchen, instead. The extra space on the paper can be used to keep notes or just doodle on.
Thanks, Dr. McDougall and staff, for this nifty new feature.

Edited to add . . .
I think someone from the McDougall web site should take a closer look at these recipe cards. There's one for soup that describes how to make a taco out of the ingredient list, another that mentions ingredients that aren't listed. Hmmm. Maybe this isn't ready for primetime yet. It's still a nice idea.
