I discovered that my oldest daughter didn’t know the ingredients or timing, and neither did I, so onto the “basics” sheet it went.
How to create a "basics" recipe sheet for the refrigerator
It made me 
"Fun to think about what we eat and a great way to cut down on time."
How I did it: Working from a great example found at the Angry Chicken blog, I used Numbers to create a single-page layout that includes 11 recipes we use fairly often. Just basic ingredients and the most basic instructions are included because these are recipes that we make often enough to know the technique, if not the exact ingredients or temps and times.

This is something I saw on some random blog that I can’t even remember now, but it’s a great idea. It’s a single-sided sheet that listed the ingredients of that person’s “go-to” recipes, along with oven temperatures and cooking times. There were no instructions because she knew how to make the dishes, but couldn’t necessarily remember the exact ingredients. Seems like a wonderful time-saver and a way to help others in the house engage in cooking some of the house staples.
