1 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. I'm Kelsey Nixon and this is Kitchen Prescription, 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: the podcast you listen to when you don't know what 3 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: to make for dinner. Let me paint a picture and 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: see if this might sound familiar to It's five PM 5 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and you're frantically trying to pull dinner together because one 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: of your kids has play practice at five point thirty 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: and another one has baseball at six, and no one's 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: going to be home. 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: Till like seven thirty. 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: You meal planned a recipe that someone you follow on 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: Instagram shared, and you're trying to pull up the recipe, 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: but you get distracted by your Instagram feed for at 13 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: least seven minutes before you realize you're in the vortex 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: and time is taking and you got to get these 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: kids fed. So you finally find the recipe, but it's 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: written in the caption, so it's kind of hard to follow, 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: and after you follow one step on your phone, it 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: goes dark, and then when you go to reopen the app, 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: it's taken you back to your home feed, and so 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: you have to go and find the recipe again. Meanwhile, 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: your seven year old is asking if she can play 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: a game on your phone because it's out and the 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: onions you started sataing are now starting to burn. I 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: will stop there, but I'm guessing that some of you 25 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: have been here before. Cooking from your phone makes an 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: already difficult daily task more difficult, or it can for 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: myself for a myriad of reasons. I didn't even go 28 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: into the scenario when you're on a food blog looking 29 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: for a recipe on your phone and stuck in an 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: endless scroll with banner ads and long stories, and you 31 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: just want to get to the recipe next meal planning. 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: The thing that has helped me more successfully put dinner 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: on the table than just about anything else is cooking 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: from a hard copy, and not only that, but printing 35 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: out my family's greatest hits, the recipes we love most, 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: the ones I make over and over again, and keeping 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: them in one central place that I can quickly and 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: easily reference when I'm both meal planning and cooking. So 39 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: today we're gonna chat a little bit about my best 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: suggestions for building your own recipe binder to hopefully make 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: your life a little easier. But first, let's discuss a 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: few recipe ideas you. 43 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: Could throw on your meal plan for the week. 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: First up, Italian bolonnaise. This is so yummy. This is 45 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: really good meat sauce like, so delicious. It uses primarily 46 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: pantry ingredients, and it is my My kids love pasta like, 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: so they'd eat pasta for lunch and dinner like every 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: day of the week if I'd let them love it. 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: And we have it a lot. 50 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know we have it that often, but we 51 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: have it a lot. And my biggest concern in giving 52 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: them so much pasta is that I worry about not 53 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: getting enough protein in their little bodies, and so having 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: a really good meat sauce or a boloonnaise is a 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: great way to pair that pasta with something a bit 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: more substantial. So I love this recipe. It is a classic. 57 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: It's one that I've been making for years. And not 58 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: only does it taste delicious, it freezes so great. And 59 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: then I like to make a double batch. You know, 60 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: I cook once and then I can eat it twice. 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: When I pull it out of the freezer, I like 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: to freeze it flat. It doesn't take that long to 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: defrost it, and literally all I have to do is 64 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: boil pasta and I have dinner Like It's so simple. 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: So this is a really great recipe. If you've never 66 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: made a bowlonnaise sauce before, it's not difficult. It's hanging 67 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: everything in a big pan and adding some stuff and 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: letting it simmer. So simple, great recipe, perfect for this 69 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: time of year. The next recipe we're going to make 70 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: this week is my Indian butter chicken. My kids love 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: this recipe. We The thing I like most about it 72 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: is it's just really full of flavor, and it's one 73 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: of my favorite styles of recipe where I take basically 74 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: some sort of dice protein like chicken, and I saute 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: it and I add a bunch of flavorful spices and 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: a can or two of something like coconut milk and tomatoes, 77 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: and I let it simmer and I serve it over 78 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: ice with really delicious bread like non that That is 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: a formula I love. 80 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: I can do that. 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: I can do that with my eyes closed. And this 82 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Indian butter chicken is a great recipe for that. Bonus 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: points if you throw some cilantro in fresh lime juice 84 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: on top at the end, maybe some peanuts, Oh so good. 85 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: And then at the end of the week, we're going 86 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: to wrap up with the tomato basil soup that's got 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: orzo in it and grilled cheese, so that tends to 88 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: be one that is requested often here. Sometimes I'll even 89 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: do it not as a dinner, but like as a lunch. 90 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: And I am sticking by my favorite way to make 91 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: grilled cheese for our family, where I make all of 92 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: the sandwiches it once rather than one in a time 93 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: in a skillet, and I do that on a sheep 94 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: pan in the oven and it just works great. It 95 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: browns the bread beautifully, the cheese melts just so nice 96 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: so that it's not cold on the inside. And this 97 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: soup so much flavor, like so much flavor, and the 98 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: fact that you add the orizo in there just makes 99 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: it a bit heartier and. 100 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: It's really good. 101 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: So there are your recipes for the week. You can 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: find and print them all in recipe Club individually or 103 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: in our weekly meal plan, which has easy to follow 104 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: shopping lists broken down my recipe and as a reminder, 105 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: recipe Club really is just a resource that allows you 106 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: to access family tested, quick and simple recipes on the 107 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: internet without being bombarded with those things that drive me nuts, 108 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: the ads, the long blog posts, the long stories. I 109 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: have found that accessing recipes on the internet. I find 110 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: it to be frustrating most resources that I go to, 111 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: so I have very intentionally built Recipe Club as a 112 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: space where I don't include those things that drive me 113 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: graz So I hope it is a great resource for 114 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: some of you, and if you're looking for a trusted resource, 115 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: we would love to have you in the club. All right, 116 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: let's jump into the back half of the podcast and 117 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: discuss building your own recipe binder. So I've already shared 118 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: some thoughts surrounding how I think a recipe binder can 119 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: make cooking dinner feel a bit more manageable in the kitchen, 120 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: But now I want to discuss the actual details surrounding 121 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: how to build a recipe binder, because let's be honest, 122 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: it can feel a bit overwhelming, maybe similarly to how 123 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: you might feel about putting together a family photo book 124 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: each year. You know you want to do it, and 125 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: you know you'll be so happy that you did it 126 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: once it's done, but it can like you kind of 127 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: have to psych yourself up to do it. So let's 128 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: see if we can't make this feel a bit more 129 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: manageable and break it down. So to me, there are 130 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: two primary steps. We'll call them gathering and building. So 131 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna call this first are gathering step, because this 132 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: is where we're going to gather all of the recipes 133 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: that we want in our binder. Now, different from a cookbook, 134 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: your binder has the ability to be completely customized for 135 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: the needs and preferences of your household. And cookbooks are amazing, 136 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: They're wonderful. I love a good cookbook, but even a 137 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: really good cookbook, I maybe cook three or four recipes 138 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,239 Speaker 1: out of it and then it goes on a shelf 139 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: and then I forget about it. The difference in having 140 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: a recipe binder is this is going to be a 141 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: binder that is filled with the recipes you make most often, 142 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: that are likely gathered from multiple sources, from your own 143 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: family recipe lineup, from a favorite food blogger, from a 144 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: favorite cookbook author, from someone at book club who's told 145 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: you a recipe that you wrote down on a post 146 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: it note like it. It's going to be the recipes 147 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: that serve you right now. So what you're first going 148 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: to do is focus on gathering all of those recipes 149 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: you want in your binder. 150 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: In one place. 151 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: Now, this is as good of time as any for 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: me to emphasize that your recipe binder should not contain 153 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: every single recipe you've ever printed or like, it's too 154 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: much If you put every single recipe you have in 155 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: one binder, that is not any better than going to 156 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: Pinterest and typing in easy weeknight dinner. It's too many 157 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: decisions for you to make. It's overwhelming. So my best 158 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: suggestion here is to have a daily recipe binder and 159 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: an index recipe binder. Your daily recipe binder will literally 160 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: live on your countertop or somewhere very visible in your 161 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: kitchen and accessible, so that you're reminded that this is 162 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: a tool you've invested in to help you get dinner 163 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: on the table. It should first be filled with the 164 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: recipes that you make most often. So in my house 165 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: that would be things like bake CD. We have this 166 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: creamy to maade totalini that only has five ingredients. We 167 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: have a tortilla soup that I make often. I find 168 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: that like for me, it's about ten recipes that I 169 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: consistently make all year long, and those just those just 170 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: stay in my binder. But then I like to switch 171 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: things up seasonally every quarter or so. What I mean 172 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: by this is in the summer, I like to grill, 173 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: so when I do my summer recipe binder refresh, I 174 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: add all of my favorite grilling recipes to my minder. 175 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: And in the winter, I love soups and stews and chilis, 176 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: and so I'll add those during the colder months. But 177 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm not usually craving beef stew in July, so it 178 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: comes out for the summer months. It goes into the 179 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: index binder, and I'm adding the grilling recipes. So the 180 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: index binder is my binder where I do keep all 181 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: of the recipes I know, and I know that I 182 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: want to keep them. I don't want to necessarily toss them, 183 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: but I want to keep them there and still make 184 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: an effort to keep them organized. But I want to 185 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: be somewhat. I want to have an editing I is 186 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: what I would say. You may even have a tab 187 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: in your index binder that's like recipes to try or 188 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: like in our In the recipe binder I developed, I 189 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: included a little pocket folder in the back and that 190 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: is intended to slip in recipes i'd like to try. 191 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: So you just want to have some system surrounding that. 192 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: So my index binder is essentially where I keep all 193 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: of the recipes I know I want to keep, but 194 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to flip through every single time I 195 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: make dinner. Here's another example for you. Some of my 196 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: most cherished recipes are the recipes I make for certain holidays. 197 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: But I don't need my thanks Giving recipes in my 198 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: binder in June, so they live in my index binder 199 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: in my holiday tab until I do my Fall recipe refresh, 200 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: and then I move them over. All of this to say, 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: the first step you need to take in building your 202 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: recipe binder is to gather the recipes. Whether you have 203 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: old recipe binders that are disorganized or messy, and or 204 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: maybe you just have all of your recipes saved in 205 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: Pinterest or on Instagram, collect the recipes that you make 206 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: most often and put. 207 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: Them in one place. It will help so much. 208 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: I promise that can initially even just be a digital place. 209 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: It can be one list, it can be in your 210 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: notes aapp. Just make a list of all of the 211 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: recipes that you love. And you might not need to 212 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: do this in one sitting. You may say, you know, 213 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: for the next week, I'm going to just make a 214 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: list of all the recipes that I love, and then 215 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to make an effort to print all of 216 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: those out. It could also be a pile of physical 217 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: recipes if you already are in the habit of printing recipes, 218 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: but you want to use this gathering step to get 219 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: rid of any recipes you don't make anymore. So I 220 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: know there are recipes that I've printed that I either 221 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: never ended up making for whatever reason, or I didn't 222 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: like them, or they were a really great fit when 223 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: my kids were in a different phase, but now they 224 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: don't really work because no one likes it, So why 225 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: would I make it that type of thing. So, once 226 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: you've determined the recipes you'd like to keep in your 227 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: everyday binder, print them. If they're already printed, you can 228 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: decide whether or not you want to just put them 229 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: in the same format for the sake of consistency. I 230 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: know that this step might seem a little extra, but 231 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: for something that you use so often, I think it's 232 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: worth the investment of time it will take to make 233 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: them all look cohesive. And that's something that we offer 234 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: in both Recipe Club and when you buy our recipe binders, 235 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: you get access to our recipe template that is very 236 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: easy to use. You can simply just add the ingredients, 237 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: the method, the steps, any notes you want to make, 238 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: and print those out and then they look so nice. 239 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: It literally it looks like a cookbook, but it functions 240 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: like a binder, meaning you can change things out very easily. 241 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: And honestly, it becomes almost like an everyday airloom because 242 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: these are the recipes that surround the memories of your 243 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: family gathering around the table or gathering for a holiday, 244 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: and this binder can really be something you even passed down. 245 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: After you've gathered your recipes, it's time for you to 246 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: get your tools. So we'll call this the building phase. 247 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: This is essentially step two. And here's what I recommend 248 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: you need for building a binder. You need an actual binder. 249 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: And I cannot tell you how much I went through 250 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: so much research and development. When it came to the 251 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: ring size of a three ring binder for developing my 252 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: own recipe binder, one inch was too small. I thought, oh, 253 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: it's definitely do like a two inch or even the 254 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: three inch so I can fit more and fit all 255 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: my recipes in there. I did that and it was like, 256 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: this thing is way too big. I can't lug this 257 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: thing around the kitchen. This is it doesn't let like, 258 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't look pretty, it doesn't lay fat, it flat, 259 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: It's just bulky. And where I landed was a one 260 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: and a half inch ring, and you can find them. 261 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: They're not as easy to find, but the binder that 262 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: I developed is one and a half inch, and very intentionally. 263 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: I also kind of felt like the sweet spot for 264 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: me was about one hundred recipes. Now I don't always 265 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: have one hundred recipes in my binder. That's actually a 266 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: ton of recipes. But what I did determine is there 267 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: is never any reason for me to need more than 268 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: one hundred recipes in my binder at any given time, 269 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: because I Am not about to have to flip through 270 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: more than one hundred recipes to make a decision about 271 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: what I'm going. 272 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: To make next Tuesday. 273 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: That's just way too much. Now you're index binder. My 274 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: index binder's a three inch, but I don't use it 275 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: every day. It literally is just a place to store 276 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: the recipes that I want to keep. So think about 277 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: the binder size. I would recommend. I recommend going smaller 278 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: than bigger. Honestly, if you're willing to do the index binder, 279 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: the binder you're going to use every day. Make it 280 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: easy to use, don't make it unwieldy. You can use 281 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: a binder you already got on hand. I'm sure there's 282 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: one linerround, or you can buy a cheap one from 283 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: Target or Walmart or Amazon, or you can invest in 284 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: a nice one. I personally am such a visual and 285 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: creative person that for me, having a beautiful binder filled 286 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: with cohesive recipes, it literally makes. 287 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: Me more excited to cook. 288 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: Genuinely, it significantly improves the whole experience for me. 289 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: So it is worth it to me. 290 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: It is so worth it to me that I was like, 291 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: something does not exist like this, I'm just gonna have 292 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: to make it, and then I spent a year trying 293 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: to make it and I did. So you'll also need 294 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: other than a binder. 295 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: Oh, I want to. 296 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: Say one more thing about binders. If you are a 297 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: visual person and you want it to be pretty, there 298 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: are some really beautiful binders out there that are like 299 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: covered in materials that are not so kitchen friendly, like 300 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: grasscloth or like linen, And if you don't care about 301 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: the esthetic that much, you can totally just choose like 302 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: a vinyl binder, and that's going to handle spills really well. 303 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: But I have found that a like a vegan leather 304 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: that to be the best material to coat a binder. 305 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: It's really durable, it totally stands up to spills. It's 306 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: great after something that you know being used every single 307 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: day for something, So keep an eye out out for 308 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: vegan leather when it comes to materials coating your binder. 309 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: You're also going to need some dividers to separate the 310 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: categories your recipes will fall under. So since you've already 311 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: gathered your recipes, you can more easily determine what those 312 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: categories should be for you, and they're probably gonna be 313 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: different than the categories that I have. Some people like 314 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: to organize by cuisine like breakfast, dinner sides. Others like 315 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: to organize by method sheeppan slow cooker skill it. But 316 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: you need to do what feels easiest for you. Some 317 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: of the tabs in my binder are Trader shows five ingredients, 318 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: so you can do a meals on the go. That's 319 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: another one for me because I'm in this phase where 320 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: I've got kids in extracurricular activities that at least once 321 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: a week in certain seasons of the year, we are 322 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: eating at a ballpark or a studio or you know, 323 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: on the go in the car. If I'm being quite honest, 324 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: So make sure you think about don't just assume that 325 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: because all of the recipe Binder dividers you've ever seen 326 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: are appetiters, breakfast, lunch, dinner, like, you don't have to 327 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: do that. That's the way your brain thinks. Great, But 328 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: you could literally organize those tabs by emotion like dinner 329 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: rut or meals on the go or picky eat like 330 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: whatever whatever it is that suits you. But because you've 331 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: already gone through those recipes, you should have some information 332 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: to make those decisions. To go with your dividers. You'll 333 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: also want labels. This could be a SA using like 334 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: a fine tipped sharpie, or using a label maker, or 335 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: having you know, pre made labels like our recipe Binder 336 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: comes with sixteen different labels that are you can choose from. 337 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: I personally like using a combination of labels that come 338 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: with our recipe Binder and using a label maker with 339 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: a clear tape and gold type. This is just a 340 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: me thing, guys. I like how it looks. It looks 341 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: really pretty and it makes me happy. You certainly do 342 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: not have to order the clear tape with gold letters, 343 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: but I want you to know it exists, and it 344 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: makes me really happy. And it happens to coordinate really 345 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: well with the labels that you get in my recipe binder. 346 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: The next thing you want to consider is page protectors. 347 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: I've got some pretty strong opinions here. For years, I 348 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: hated that a traditional page protector made it so you 349 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: couldn't visibly see the dividers. 350 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. 351 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: You put everything in a page protector and then would 352 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: I'll cover up the dividers. So it was really hard 353 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: to stay organized. So I worked really hard to develop 354 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: a a page protector that does not have that little 355 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: white strip on the inside, and so it just is 356 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: actually whole punched itself, and so you can actually see 357 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: the dividers on the end, and I just I like 358 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: how it looks so much. And you know, I went 359 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: back and forth as to whether or not I even 360 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: wanted to utilize page protectors, because you can print on 361 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: like a synthetic paper that is like indestructible basically. But 362 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: the thing that's so important to me about this recipue 363 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: binder is that it can very easily grow with you 364 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: through your different chapters and seasons of life. And if 365 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I have to print on synthetic paper every single time 366 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: I got a new recipe, I want to put my binder. 367 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: That feels too hard. It feels way too hard. So 368 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: that's totally an option you could do. And any office 369 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: depot or staples you can print on synthetic paper. In fact, 370 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: I just did it, and it's like, I think I 371 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: paid two dollars a sheet, So that is totally something 372 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: you can do. But for me, I really like having 373 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: the page protectors that still protect the recipes from being 374 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: torn or spilled on. But I also can just slip 375 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: that paper out if I'm no longer making that recipe 376 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: and slip a new one it. A binder filled with 377 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: page protectors equals a recipe book that can grow with 378 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: your family over the years that kind of easily morphs 379 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: to accommodate the current. 380 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: Needs of your household. 381 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: The last thing I want to discuss when it comes 382 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: to your binder that has really been very helpful for 383 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: me is this idea of cheat sheets or reference guides 384 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: that you keep in your binder. These could be the 385 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: actual cheat sheets that we have in Recipe Club, which 386 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: are I mean, they're my favorites, and that's why they're there, 387 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: because I've shared them with you, like my salad cheat sheet, 388 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: a lunch cheat sheet, my grilling cheat sheet, Joe's cheat sheet, 389 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: and so forth. Or it could simply be a list 390 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: of meals that your picky toddler will eat so that 391 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: you don't have to think about it, or a list 392 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: of recipes that you like to make when you're serving 393 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: a big group. I liked having these helpful tips in 394 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: my binder so much that when I developed the recipe Binder, 395 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: I included infographics on the interior, front and back covers 396 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: with helpful things like how long do I cook chicken 397 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: thighs or tenders for? And at what ten what's a 398 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: substitution for buttermilk or sour cream? So really think about 399 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: filling your recipe binder with the info you regularly rely. 400 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: On to help you get dinner on the table. 401 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: Then keep your binder out, keep it out in the 402 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: open or close to where you actually do all of 403 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: the cooking, so that you have a reminder that this 404 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: is here to help you in a world that's full 405 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: of apps and digital shortcuts. It may seem somewhat counterintuitive 406 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: to suggest that you think about a physical binder to 407 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: help you get dinner on the table, but it has 408 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: made such a different friends for me, and I believe 409 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: that there are certain things that will always just be better. 410 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 2: When you can hold them in your hands. 411 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: Finally, let's finish with the weekly gimme five. These are 412 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: five things that made my life easier or more enjoyable 413 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: this week. First up, it was Valentine's Day and I 414 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: purchased the cutest heart hoops on Amazon that really just 415 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: it was a gift to myself and it made me 416 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: so happy. Another thing that's made me not only like 417 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: so happy, but has genuinely solved a problem for me 418 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: is this is gonna sound crazy, you guys. This Eucalyptus 419 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: lemongrass shower spray. My mom put it in my stocking. 420 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: I love it. I look forward to using it every 421 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: day for my morning shower. Not only does it smell 422 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: like I've been like transported to a spa, but it's 423 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: amazing for relieving congestion or stuffiness if you're dealing. 424 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: With a winter cold. 425 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: And when I say it's like solving a problem. I 426 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: have decided that my best idea has come when I'm 427 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: in the shower. As a mom to three young kids 428 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: and a business owner, like my mind is all, someone 429 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: always always is asking me a question. One of the 430 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: only places no one can ask me a question is 431 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: the shower. And so when I step into the shower 432 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: and it smells so good and I can just have 433 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: a moment to think, not only is it so enjoyable, 434 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: but it truly solves a problem for me. Next tip 435 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: on my Give Me five is an electric kettle. So 436 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: we've been doing a lot of hot chocolate around here, 437 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: and after my last electric kettle died is a couple 438 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: months ago. Honestly, I finally reinvested in a new model, 439 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 1: and I am loving this one so far. 440 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: It's this beautiful copper color. 441 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: It's just an upgrade from what I have before and 442 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: so fun when we do hot chocolate as a family 443 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: or for myself. 444 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: I love my perk in the morning. 445 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: My slow cooker. I got a favorite slow cooker. I 446 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: have been doing a weekly freezer meal all month and 447 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: as a result, I'm feeling very I have strong thoughts 448 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: about my slow cooker, and I just it has been 449 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: I think going on three year three or four with it. 450 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: It is such a good one. I love the locking 451 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: lid functionality, and I just find that it cooks super evenly, 452 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: so that's another thing that has been just a staple 453 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: for me. And then finally on my list is my 454 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: at home printer. So in the past six months, I 455 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: have bought three home printers. I've been wanting to test 456 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: them when it comes to like crisp printing and good 457 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: color transfer, specifically because I've been investing in printing a 458 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: recipe binder and trying to give you guys resources for 459 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: having that be the best experience possible. And I have 460 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: tested three. There's one very clear winner, and that's another 461 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm just I finally took the other ones and I 462 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: donated them, and I said, that's it. We are a 463 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: one printer household. 464 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: Though. 465 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: All right, you guys, that's all for today.
