Back in July, I had come across the blog Controlling My Chaos. Its author, Jill, is fantastically creative and organized. Yeah, I know~ but it's like Mulan's grandmother said, "We can't ALL be acupuncturists." :) Anyhow, she had created this great filing system for her recipes. Even better she provided a tutorial AND graciously posted her darling templates. So here is A Cookbook for the College Kid.

The Fashionista’s Wonderland
We bought a two-bedroom condo near ASU in August. The Fashionista now lives in it and we hope the second bedroom will soon hold a roommate. It was a foreclosure that had sat empty for 8 months and it had been a rental property before that. So in one word it was: DIRTY!
