What is the best way to organize my favorite recipes?

Answer 1

i organize mine by catagory. breakfast, appetizers, dips, sauces, dressings, salads, soups, desserts, breads, etc.

then with main menu items i organize basic dishes by ingredient (chicken, seafood, etc.) and more specifics by ethnicity (italian, chinese, etc.)

i have a small box for 3x5s given to me, and the rest i put in binders. i put them in plastic sleeves so when i'm cooking, if i get something on them, they're not ruined.

Answer 2

I organize mine two ways:
1. Recipes that are tried-and-true favorites, I write on index cards and keep alphabetically in a recipe file box. Since I'm familiar with them, it is easy to remember their names.
2. Recipes I've cut from magazines, etc., I paste onto paper and keep in protective plastic sleeves (so I can wipe off the inevitable splats and spills) in a 3-ring hard-bound notebook. I use index tab dividers to separate the pages by food type, i.e., entrees, salads, appetizers, beverages, desserts, etc.

Good luck! Cooking at home is rewarding, healthy, and fun!

Answer 3

This is always a challenge - but I have found a card file and a notebook to be my best options - I use the notebook for web printed and those i have typed up and an index card file for jotting them down on the fly and keep them sorted by the same categories as used i most cook books (appetizer, salad, side, main and dessert). Hope this helped!
