Receipes....
So I have a TON receipes that need organizing. I mean like clippings from magazines and such. What do you all do to keep your receiples organized?
Re: Receipes....
I'm actually super dorky with my recipe organizing.
I have 4 binders. In each binder there are tabs to sub divide the binder. So in the soup/sandwich/salad binder I have 3 tabs for each section. I also use the clear sheet protectors for all my recipes that I have printed out from online or ripped from magazines. If they are smaller than 8 1/2 x 11 they get glued to a piece of paper with other small recipes and stuck in a plastic sleeve. I also have a master list (which needs to be updated) of all my recipes in an Excel sheet. It includes recipes from my binders and also recipes form my cookbooks that we regularly make. Having a master list of recipes (sortable by main ingredient, category, etc) makes weekly menu planning much easier.
When we were moving, I realized just how many recipes I had torn out of magazines and knew I could not bring them all with me. I found this site www.tastebook.com - it's not perfect, but for a lot of more popular magazines, many recipes have already been entered in, seemingly some by the company and some by other users (so, I usually just skim to make sure everything is in there correctly, but it saves a ton of time over having to type everything in.) For anything else, you can just add it yourself. You can also invite friends to connect with you and share recipes, which I've been meaning to do, but the Gmail invite feature hasn't worked the few times I've tried it and I'm too lazy to manually enter emails...obviously, since I'm using this site.
Another feature they offer is the option to create actual cookbooks with your recipes, which I don't intend to use, but it's a nice option.
Now, when I find new recipes, I tear them out, save them in a folder and add them to the site in batches when I have time.
