Storage Solution: Recipes

9/1/2015

Like any good crafter, I jumped on PInterest early. I loved having craft ideas at my fingertips. Then I started finding non crafty things. Like recipes. And pretty soon I had a bunch of recipes stored up to try out, but what good were they on my computer? I don' have a computer in the kitchen, so I had to print them. But what to do with a bunch of printed recipes? Put them in a binder!
Here's my recipe binder:

I actually have 2 binders now. One for sweets and one fore everything else. I have a lot of sweets recipes...

Moving on...

I sorted my recipes into different categories, then used some tabbed page protectors and my label maker to label the categories.

I wanted to decorate the tabbed page protectors, but I didn't have a lot of time or money, so I dug into my stash and came up with a whole set of old K.I. Memories paper. I used one color on each page, cut out randomly-sized rectangles and adhered them onto some black cardstock. I love that I was able to use so much of the paper that I had been hoarding for so long.

Once the title pages were done, I started sliding in my recipes. I try to take a photo of each recipe when I make it so I can see what the dish looks like when I'm flipping through.
Picture
Sometimes, I make notes on my pages so I can keep track of what has worked or what to try. Here is my Thanksgiving turkey recipe with notes on how big the turkey was each year and how long it took to make. That way I can plan the timeline each Thanksgiving.
Picture
When I get a new recipe, I put it in the front of the binder till I actually make the recipe, then if I like it, it gets a page protector. If not - trash! There is no special order to the recipes within the categories - none of them are big enough that I cannot find what I need.

How do you store your recipes?

Happy Crafting (and cooking!)
