As kids everywhere gear up for Halloween, parents everywhere
gear up for the impending sugar high in the (literally) candy-coated weeks to
come. While it’s not always easy to combat the irresistible pull of neon orange
food coloring and gobs of processed chocolate, most parents can agree that a
fully loaded arsenal of nutritious recipes is essential in keeping their kids
balanced. —
For those who still get a little intimidated by fancy
cookbooks, or who find themselves always hearing great recipes but then
forgetting them, consider Rifle Paper Co.’s heirloom recipe card box to be your
latest secret weapon in getting back on track from candy corn to, well, actual
corn.
Complete with a full set of dividers and recipe index cards,
this locally-made wooden box will not only help you gather and store your
thoughts in the kitchen, but it will also add a healthy dose of homespun charm to
any autumnal décor scheme!
$135; available online at riflepaperco.com and in Pink Olive stores in Park Slope & the East Village.
P.S. For those who like a recipe
box purely for its functionality, not
facade, here’s a good one from Crate & Barrel for only $24.95!
