Creating a Recipe Binder

I've joined an organizing challenge. I think it will help to direct me in an orderly fashion to get things organized at home.

This week's challenge was to make a recipe binder.

My old way of storing recipes wasn't bad...it just took up a lot of counterspace. My counters are on a diet...we are trying to make them sleek.


Did I mention that my old recipe box had ROOSTERS on it?

So, since I worked FORever on transitioning all my recipes to 4x6 cards, I took the easy way out.

I found a new photo album that I already had and wasn't using. (One day I'll have to tell you how I keep our photos! It's so cool! :) )

The album has spaces for...4x6 photos. This was obviously a case of fate!

I organized the recipes into:

Appetizers
Beef
Beverages
Breads
Breakfast
Casseroles
Chicken
Cookies
Crock Pot
Desserts
Pork
Sides
Soups/Stews

And, Viola...it's done!


And, yes, those roosters used to be all over the kitchen!

(One day I will re-write all of the cards, too. Baby steps, baby steps!

It's genuinely very complex in this busy life to listen news on TV, therefore I only use the web for that purpose, and obtain the most up-to-date information.
