Both my parents recipes would include things like "fill the green bowl half way" or "sprinkle until it covers the surface of the entire pan" not really thinking that when I move out I won't have the same bowls and pans so I need actual measurements people! But tbf to them that was how they learned as well. Apparently nobody in either side of my family used actual measurements.

Now when I find a recipe I like I make sure to write it down with measurements and notes and I keep them all in a little binder. I don't have kids so not sure who I think this will help in the future, but it makes me happy to do it so I do!
