Recipes Galore!

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

Organizing my recipes into ONE book!
How many dishes do we really make from our mighty collection of recipe books anyways?



This is my nutty recipe collection.  
I can't tell you how many recipe books and magazines I've squandered.
I really only use 1-2  recipes from each publication.



This is what my stash does to me.
It gives me gray hair! 



I need a binder to hold all my true and tried recipes.
One book to be right at my finger tips.



Used tabs to categorize my dishes.



Bought pocket sheet protectors off the Internet. 
The 4 pocket page holds 4x5 cards.
The 3 pocket page holds 4x6 cards.



Awesome daughter made me some personalized recipe cards off the computer.



Transfered my favorite recipes on the cards and slipped them into the pockets.



Printed recipes from favorite sites and slid them into large sheet protectors.
Allrecipes has tons of recipes.
Our Best Bites is another yummy site.
I just found The Girl Who Ate Everything with great recipes too.



About every 6 months I add new recipes to my binder.



Now when I cook and bake I ONLY refer to ONE book.



Triumph!
No more gray hair!

  1. I so need to do this. I made a recipe book a few years ago but it needs to be updated badly. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to everyone. Hubby and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary.
