how do you store your recipes?

mattswife91805 · August 2011

I have been printing lots of new recipes to try. I have a binder of ones that we like which is working great, but I have no clue how to store the ones we haven't tried yet. I can't save them on a computer b/c when we moved we never set up internet, I print them off at work.

thanks!

I used to have a binder for mine. I would put the recipes that I had actually cooked and liked in those clear sleeve page protector things. Then, as I found new ones to try, I just kept them in the pockets of the same binder, then added them to the sleeves if they were a hit. Worked very well for me. I just updated mine and typed them all up to put in a recipe box. I still have the binder for new recipes to try. HTH!

This for me. Sleeve protector when it's earned its spot; shoved in the back until it does

I have two binders. I have one that holds the recipes we've loved (printed from the internet, cut out of magazines, or recipes I've had someone write down on a notecare for me) all stored in sheet protectors. The other binder is just chock full of other ones I want to try but haven't got around to yet. A friend of mine tosses the to-try recipes in a decorative storage box in her pantry.

I have tabbed dividers in my binder. The dividers each have a pocket. Untried recipes get shoved in a pocket until they are proven keepers.

For recipes found on the internet, I'll copy and paste them into a word document. I save them in a "recipes" folder, which has an "untried" foler within that. When they've been tested they move into the regular folder with the click of a button, and then no worries about losing scrap paper.

Also if anyone writes out a recipe that is good enough to keep, I'll type it in to the computer, that way it's one click to share them via emal with others. You can save extra backup copies on flash drives so you'll never lose them, and they don't take up space.

I actually just keep an index card box and transfer all my recipes to an index card. I found that it's easier for me to find an index card and refer to it than keeping it in a binder, as I had been doing. Because the cards are smaller, it makes it easier for me to carry it back and forth between my counter tops as I'm cooking. I have ABC dividers so I can easily search for a specific recipe. I even started color coding the cards for meat dishes (pinkish red cards), Vege dishes (green), etc..

I am obsessed with the food network so I went on the website and printed all the recipes out. I then organized them and made dividers. I went to staples and for $10 bucks I had them bound. It's so much easier!
