organizing recipes

[Guest guest]

I have several I printed. I have enough to fill one binder and almost a second

one. My goal is to use them more but that's a different question.

 

Some of them have several types of recipes on one page. (dessert, vegetable,

main course, bread, etc) so I can't separate them that way. I have them in

plastic sheet protectors now. I've thought of writing page numbers on them and

typing an index. I could just continue on and not try to sort them but I'd like

to find a way to sort/organize them.

 

What's the easiest way to organize when I have a lot of papers with different

recipe types on one page?

If you have access to a scanner or copier you can seperate out the different

types of recipes on each page. I have a huge 3 ring binder that I have tabs in

for the different catagories. I'm getting ready to get a second large 3 ring

binder to expand into as the first is getting too heavy. Eventually I hope to

have a different binder for each category and then each binder seperated with

tabs into subcatagories. I had to copy a bunch of recipes when I had several on

one page. It's worth it sometimes to copy to a color copy to keep the really

nice pictures some pages had, like ones I've torn out from magazines. I figure

the binders will be handed down to my children when I'm gone so I'm trying to do

a nice job with them.

if I have multiples on one sheet I usually photo copy and cut/separate them into

categories. I file mine in file folders in a file box on my kitchen counter,

which for me is easier than getting out a binder eveytime I need to add recipes

since I have so MANY!---

-I bought a beautifully illustrated journal at the thrift store for $1. The

title *Cook's Notebook*, contains wonderful poetry and pictures of herbs and

veggies.

I copy favorite recipes from you nice people and my own experiments. I then make

notations of texture, taste, date, etc.

I've found several similar journals , sometimes less than a dollar and they are

perfect for recipes and food notes.

You can also find garden journals . I purchased a beautiful one for $1 that was

originally marked $14.99. It is brand new and is a calandar-journal with photos

of Monet's Gardnes at Giverny.

A friend gifted me with a beautiful journal with pictures of moon,stars, sky.

For a year a niece and I kept a " moon journal " . Observing the *Heavens and the

moon phases*, writing poetry and sharing it with each other.

Life is just way too much fun sometimes
