Okay, so I have had the hardest time over the years trying to come up with the best system for organizing the recipes I collect from the Internet. I did the whole box thing. The impossibly high stack thing. I even *
briefly* considered copying them all down on recipe cards and filing them away
(but understandably I nixed that idea pretty quick.) I figured it I didn't have time to
cook dinner most of the time, there was no way I was going to be able to come up with enough time to copy down recipes that I already had in print form.
So this is what I did:
For the index cards I already had I got a photo album that fit the 4x6 photos and stuffed them all in that.
And for the 8 1/2 x 11 that I have I separated into 3 binders. I have one of all main dishes, one for everything else, and one of recipes, separated by tabs into categories, that I have not made yet. This way I can keep organized and on top of the sheets of paper. I have found that this works best for me. Plus then I can put the binder in my trusty recipe stand, easel, holder thingy.
