how do you organize your recipes??

I print out my favorite ones that I find. I keep them in a sprial bound notebook, with those plastic "slickies." All the recipes are organized by their type... main dishes, cookie, pie, etc. If I found a recipe in a cookbook, and know I'll never remember which one, I copy it and put it in my recipe card box. This way, I only have two sources I need to search when looking for something specific! Good luck with your organizing.It's a chore, but well worth it when you are done. :)

I have just given for my Mother a Notebook for her to organize their incomes and also to change incomes for the Internet with their friends.And I helped to her to organize like this : Menu : Ave Drunk Cakes and Pies Meats Sweet and Desserts Snacks Masses Pisces and Fruits of the Sea Main plate Salads, sauces and attendances Soups I organized like this for her,I made a special program for him to work with her incomes.She loved. Thank you

Recipes I like from the internet, I print out and put into a binder. The binder has "slicksheets" which are like paper holders so I can wipe them off after I'm done cooking. Other than this, I have no real system. I should really organize that binder... lol!

Just keep it inside our drawer, hehe..Ü I don't like throwing them right away coz' I would like to also try some of 'em some time ;)

I find recipes everywhere. When I find a food one on the internet I print it out, or if it's on like say Betty Crocker.com etc. I will put them in my recipe file and go back another time and print them out. I have for years kept all my mine in photo ablums. I even have a section for BBQ, desserts etc. It works well for me.

i use Filemaker Pro and keep a database of recipes. . . at least i did until i became a parent and had less time to type them in. sometimes i still do, but when i can't i just print them out (in the most printer friendly format i can), put the sheets in plastic sleeves and into a binder that stays on the shelf with my cookbooks. the binder is sectioned off to make it more organized. "for kids," "breads of all kinds," "soups and main meals," etc. it's the best way i've found.

You are the perfect candidate for a Think Free Virtual Office! http://www.thinkfree.com You can create, edit and even make your recipes into a media project with this system, and it's free1 :) I'm collecting all of my responses and creating a "Slush Pile" for my writing projects... The software is easy to use and you can also share your files with the Think Free community, if you wish! :)

I am not all that organized so I print mine off , then put them in a three ring binder after I slip them into a plastic cover to protect them. simple but it works for me. I do manage to keep the cake , or cookies , or main meal recipes all together so they are easier to find

Please don't take any advice from me as I am terrible at organizing things. I have recipes scribbled on pieces of paper and shoved into the pages of a cookbook. Then there are the ones that I have found online. I have copied and pasted some into folders and put them on the desktop but there are a lot that I haven't copied yet. My printer does work right now either.

i have put a book together of all the mylot recipees i have seen on here. I copy and paste them all in to a word processing document and save them. I think im up to 37 pages now and its forming a great resourse. All i will have to do when its done is index it all, that will be fun, lol. blessed be

I save mine on my computer and then print them out and put them in a binder near my stove with dividers sorted out to different sections. I am always collecting new recipes and found this to be the easiest.

I have a binder that I keep my recipes in. First I print them out, and then I slip them into a plastic sleeve to keep them clean. Then I keep them in a 3 ring binder. I like it this way because then it is easy to just take a recipe out when I want to use them and the plastic sleeve keeps it from getting dirty. Right now I don't have many recipes in there, but once I get a lot of them, I am planning on adding labeled tabs that tell me what section is appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Then I will alphabatize them within each section. Right now this system seems to be working out pretty well for me.

If you work from a cafe or somewhere out then you will need to print them done either on a CD or on a paper, which ever is preferable to you. i think you should buy a CD, and make it exclusive for recipies only. its easy to keep and carry. if you are working from home computer or laptop then you can make a folder by the name of recipe and save all the recipes you find interesting in that and then categorize it into sweet, veg r non-veg, i mean what ever you prefer. i do it in the same way. i have categorised each and every thing and then i copy it in their respective folder. it is easy to find then, you dont have to go through each n every recipe, you know which taste item u want n go to that folder and search. it is much more easy, (i feel). i hope u can organize it soon.

First i try the recipe if it comes out good,then i print and make a file

I printed some of them. Think that if somebody does it regularly, she/he can have quite interesting collection of recipes from all over the world.

I am always picking up recipes from the internet...mylot and other places...throw that in with recipie csharing with friends over the internet, and it can be hard to keep everything organized. I found what works best for me is to have a word document on my computer that I just copy and paste recipes into. It's not the most organized...recipes are in the order I get them rather than alphabetical, or by dish or course. But I like that I don't have a lot of extra paper around, and I have more than one recipe on a page so this keeps things condences too. I figure so long as I have everything electronically, it's not to hard to organize them when I am ready to.

My husband created a file for me to put all the recipes from myLot that I want to save it works great I love it. I have tried out alot of the recipes. It is fun experimenting.
