My recipes collection is out of control and desperately needs to be organized. The books and the online recipe boxes are fine but the problem is with the binder that has become a permanent fixture in my kitchen.
The purpose of this binder is to organize recipes I print from various sites. All Recipes and Food Network are probably the most common. I also get Food Network Magazine, which is awesome! I highly recommend it if you love to cook are not already a subscriber.
Back to the binder: It started out as a great idea. I had little sections with labels like, Bread, Soups, Beef, Vegetarian, etc. It was all very cute and organized - at first. Now it just looks pitiful. There is more paper crammed in there than the rings will actually hold. I've considered getting a giant binder or spreading everything out in several. This may seem trivial to some but, let me tell you , it's really becoming a problem!
I do have alot of recipes stored online so that's helpful. Another good thing is I actually do know what's in here very well and can usually locate what I want fairly quickly.
