If you use pinterest, please come in...
I have been using pinterest to organize all my online recipes. I just counted and I have 97 boards! Granted, not all of them are cooking-related, but about 90% are.
My boards are labeled- apps, beef, chicken, casserole, shrimp, etc
What categories do you have that are cooking-related? Clearly, I need to consolidate my boards!
eta: Are you able to create a board within a board? For instance, have a "master" board labeled Cooking, and then put all cooking boards (ex: apps, beef, chicken, etc) inside the master board?

I only have a few:
Tasty and Savory
Yummy and Sweet
Snacks for Finley
Game Bites
Dinner Party Ideas (this is more than recipes)
Drinks for the Ladies
So Tasty, So Yummy
I LOVE Pinterest! Its sooo fun
I have a few boards for cooking: Food!, Treats!, Drinks!, Fall Favorites, Winter Fun, and The Future. It might sound confusing, but here is how I organize things:
The one called Food is a mixture of sides, main dishes and generally savory things. Treats is desserts and sweet breakfast foods. Drinks is any kind of drink- lemonade, smoothies, alcoholic, etc. And then these last ones are mixtures of food pins and decor and stuff... Fall favorites is stuff like candy apples, Halloween/Thanksgiving food, etc. Winter Fun is Christmas/New Years/Valentines Day stuff. The Future has cute ideas/recipes for things I want to do in the future- like recipes for a baby's first birthday (when I actually do have babies lol).
I do it this way so I don't have a million boards- I've already got a total of 14 and its somewhat overwhelming if I don't have them condensed!
~~Our Family Blog~~
Recipes: Naughty
Recipes: Nice (healthy)
Sweet Tooth
Inspiration: Food Edition (I pin things like presentation, themed foods, etc. here)
My Kitschy Kitchen: Unique cooking gadgets, functional decor (like food/dish/cookware storage that looks cool too), anything I want in my kitchen that's not an actual recipe.
I need to add a drink board, and I'm thinking of seasonal boards instead of holiday boards, which I have right now but they're really disorganized.
Edit: Oh, and "Cooking for Kids"
