The color's awful (dark kitchen!), but that's my recipe box. Yeah. Ugh. The lid is actually supposed to, you know, close. The task is so daunting, though, that I keep putting it off. Plus, I think I need a bigger box.
How do you keep your recipes organized?
Recipes are suppose to be organized? Oh my, :) Good luck with that task.

LOL, Mason. Apparently. :)
ReplyDeleteJust organized mine over the holidays !! Could not find anything that I needed in the box, so I just started copying everything on new recipe cards. It took me awhile, but at least I can find what I am looking for now!! Good Luck with that !!
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to use recipes?
ReplyDeleteI like to put them in those clear sheets that have the slits in them (you know the ones??) and put them in a binder and just leave it on the counter!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I think that's what I'm going to have to do, too. Maybe if I do it a little at a time...
ReplyDeleteLOL, Elaine. Some of us (ME!) need all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteLa Toya, I love the binder idea. Hmm.... Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy recipes are kept in 4x6 clear photo sleeves and then inside a photo album it fits 3 or 4 recipes per page. I then have it broken down by types of recipes, desserts, snacks,chicken, beef, pasta etc. It works really well for me although I have some loose papers that need to be filed away. Hope you find a way to organize that you like!
ReplyDeleteYou could scan them in and have them digitally. We use our laptop off to the side with our recipes. We get a lot of ours off the internet. This way you save the space and you can back them up.
ReplyDeletewhat little recipes I have are on my computer in a file folder.
ReplyDeleteYou're worried about closing the box? I just bought a second desk because I couldn't un-bury the first one. (Really!)
ReplyDeleteBreaunna, I think that's the way I'm going to go. With either a binder or a photo album... I like the tab idea, too. :)
ReplyDeleteNikki, I thought about entering them on the computer (which seemed like way too much work!), but not about scanning them. That's a great idea. Hmm! Lots to think about!
ReplyDeleteDru, it's an option for me, too. Having a binder on the counter seems more handy, though. Decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeleteLOLOL, Linda. I kind of like your way of thinking!
ReplyDeleteCookbooks. The main recipes that we use all the time are in my head but it's okay because I have modified them so much the recipe itself would be useless.
ReplyDeleteI have a nice recipe book. Most of the recipes I never use are in it. The recipes I do use on occasion, are shoved someplace in the cupboard near the recipe book. I always have to search for them.
ReplyDeleteAimee, for some reason I only have a few cookbooks. But lots of individual recipes. Maybe because I have no room for the books! Tiny kitchen.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Linda. It's always the way!
ReplyDeleteI keep my recipes in a 3 ring folder. :)
