You can print them out on blank 4 x 6 index cards
I started doing it this way after a guest told me that the full page recipe is hard to fit into her recipe card box.
I did one recipe on Microsoft Word and just used that as a templet
I love handing these out at the shows because after I print them, I stamp them with my info on them, this way they will have my information at hand at any time.
