Menu index cards are great for when I can't think about what to cook. They have a whole menu, one menu on one index card. Since they are sorted into the index card file, I have them sorted by what types of meat (chicken, beef, ground beef, pork,vegetarian, etc.).

| Organizing Recipes In Cookbooks
|
|
I use many different recipe books. I don't always take the time to copy all the recipes onto recipe cards especially when it is something I make occasionally.

| Freebie: Freeware for Shopping and Recipes
|
|
This is freeware. Its wonderful. There is already a ton of stuff on it, plus you can add your own items, your own categories. Then when you get your list made, you can print it out and it automatically sorts it into the categories.

| Saving and Printing Recipes on Cards
|
|
When I find a recipe that sounds interesting and don't want to write it down and don't always have good luck at saving it or don't want to save the whole page, I found a compromise. I copy and paste what I want to keep and paste it into a blank e-mail and save it as a draft.

| Organizing Untried Recipes
|
|
When I collect a new untried recipe, I put it in a sheet cover in a thin notebook. If, after trying it, I like it, I put it in a photo album that has the large peel back sheets. If I don't like it, then I just toss it.

| Use a Photo Album as a Recipe Holder
|
 I found this "photo" album several months ago at a discount store. I loved the cover but wanted to use it for recipes instead of photos. It just didn't make sense to me to use it for photos with a "chef" motif!

| Make Your Own Recipe Box With Recycled Cardboard
|
|
My recipe file was over flowing, too full! I like to collect good recipes. I took an empty box, cut it so it is as deep as the index cards,(a little deeper than the recipe cards).

| Use a Photo Album for Recipes
|
|
I have a lot of recipes that I have printed from the internet and couldn't find a place to store them. I had some of the small photo albums lying around, so I use those to store my recipes. Works great.

| Have a Dedicated Recipe Computer
|
|
I've been an avid cookbook collector for over 40 years with literally hundreds of cookbooks! Because there are special recipes that my family likes in each cookbook, I used to find myself on the floor with piles of cookbooks around me as I tried to find a specific recipe.

| Use A Mini Binder For Organizing Recipes
|
 I try to plan dinners in advance by choosing recipes and listing needed ingredients on a shopping list. The shopping list is always written on a sticky note and attached to a first insert (card stock) of my mini binder (7x4.5 inches) which is always with me in my purse.
