Pro tip: My bullet journal setup for trying new recipes without the mess

In my experience, keeping a dedicated section for recipes in my bullet journal has helped me cook more at home. I use one page to jot down dishes I want to try, with a simple check box next to each. When I make one, I note the date and a quick thought on how it turned out. This way, I don't forget what worked and what didn't, which cuts down on repeat flops. Your mileage may vary, but it's made my kitchen time way less stressful. Take this with a grain of salt, but maybe give it a shot if you're tired of recipe chaos.

Seems like the journal just adds another chore to my already packed cooking routine.

Yeah @tessawood, if the journal feels like "another chore" then you're doing it wrong. My system is just scribbles, not a recipe for more work. Maybe you're stirring the journal more than the actual food.
