Organizing recipes
One of the things I found in my mom's belongings was a journal where she wrote out or glued some of her favorite recipes. My mom was an awesome cook, and a lot of the recipes are things I loved eating when I was growing up. Unfortunately, it's really hard to find the ones I'm looking for.
We have a small box with index cards where we've written a lot of our favorite recipes, but the index cards are kind of awkward to write everything out on and usually the recipe won't fit on the whole card.
How do you ladies organize your favorite recipes? Do you use recipe cards? A binder? Something else?

Re: Organizing recipes
I have a binder with page protectors and dividers etc. I find it's the easiest now because any recipes that you didn't print out yourself, you can put in a page protector so you could take it out to use, and now-a-days, most recipes are printed so this was the easiest way to store them. It's a little costly in the beginning to set it up, probably around $20-$30 depending on how many recipes you have currently, but it's what has worked the best for me so far.
GL!

This is exactly what I have.
A few years ago for Christmas, my Mom wrote ALL of my Grandmas recipes down on recipe cards for me and put them in binders. I have one for apps and main courses and then another full one of just desserts.
I have the same exact thing and it works really well! The page protectors are great because like Tgoff said, you can put any type of recipe it in, whether it is from a magazine, written down, or printed out from something I have found on a food blog and they are always protected from spills, ripping, etc.

Thanks, ladies. Maybe I'll start one up while it snows today.
And Michelle, MIL did this for us too. She's like Betty Crocker reincarnated and gave us a giant box of family recipes on index cards. They're pretty neat to have.

If you ever feel like you may want to share your recipe book, the ladies on my local were talking about this site:

Seems kind of awesome to me.
Stand up for something you believe in.
