I also recently tackled organizing a massive stack of papers that were in our kitchen into different file folders and it felt so great to get it done and get them out of the way! <br /><br />I mostly access recipes on my phone or online and very very rarely print them out. When I find a recipe online I want to try later I email it to myself and I have a recipe folder in my gmail that I periodically go through though I admit I haven't been super creative in the kitchen lately and tend to eat the same things over and over again recently with the meal planning and prep I've been doing. One thing I really want to do is spend a whole afternoon making crockpot ready meals to go in the freezer. Ones that I can just take out and dump in the crockpot in the morning! One day...

I can just pull up the app on my phone and if I am making a meal or need ideas from what I had pinned it's all there. I guess, since everything is in one place I love it for that reason.

For the recipes I keep, one thing I try to do is put them in contact paper, so the spills don't ruin the recipe. For now, I keep them in a pile inside the flap of one of my recipe books. Some day, maybe I'll get as organized as you. For now, I consider it a win if they're not sitting in a pile in the middle of our counter. =DNilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004488478412792126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-60225700240613113272015-03-06T10:44:09.821-06:002015-03-06T10:44:09.821-06:00This is something that I've been meaning to ta...This is something that I've been meaning to tackle for a long time and just haven't yet!

I organized my printouts similarly to the way you did and it is so much easier for me to pick out recipes. I have been bad about making new recipes lately, so this post is a great reminder to look at everything I've printed in my binder!

But while I've thrown a few magazine pages into it, I've never really used it to its full potential. Instead I really tend to save recipes on pinterest, which works great, at least until the day when the blogs remove their posts or pinterest stops existing.Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-15142682449493993012015-03-05T15:55:21.950-06:002015-03-05T15:55:21.950-06:00I don’t print recipes.

I’m not super adventurous when it comes to cooking, so I mostly stick to my tried-and-true favorites. But…all that said…I was going to talk about how I use my iPad or iPhone and then I read through some of the comments above and realized, YES, I get annoyed with using my iPad/iPhone, too, because the screen always locks. It’s very annoying! I should just start printing recipes and organize them into a binder, but I have a feeling that’s a project I will never get around to, ha. Using my iPad/iPhone is more convenient for me… if also very annoying. ;)Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-2488649719493560982015-03-05T12:39:41.899-06:002015-03-05T12:39:41.899-06:00I have a lot of recipes in a binder, but now I nee...I have a lot of recipes in a binder, but now I need to get plastic protective sheets to keep them safe and clean!Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-89020581447851607582015-03-05T09:12:09.136-06:002015-03-05T09:12:09.136-06:00Your pile of recipes is so small compared to my co...Your pile of recipes is so small compared to my conglomeration!

There is a plethora of cookbooks in my house, too, though I don't use those as much these days. I do need to get some new dishes in the rotation, so thanks for the reminder!<br /><br />I will often look at a recipe if it is on my phone but it does bother me when the screen does dark, I have to swipe, all that jazz.

It's not good. So I generally print mine out and I have a little recipe file where I put them all. When I was younger, I was a bit more of a hoarder and I used to print them and/or get them from magazines all the time. So I also have a binder like yours with a TON of recipes that I have never even tried. However, that is in storage, because when I moved to Oakland I did not move all of my things, as I did not plan to be here very long. I guess it's time to start thinking about moving the rest of my stuff down here!

Ha! Love it! I feel like I'm doing this now too - last night I organized the crap out of our linen closet and walking past it (it's in the bathroom) now makes me smile! <br /><br />My recipes are kind of hodge podge. I have some from cookbooks and I too have a binder although I pretty much only use what's stuffed in the front pocket and not what's actually IN the binder.
