Keep Recipes in a Three Ring Binder

I have made a "recipe notebook" out of a 3-ring binder and clear insert pages to hold all my recipes that were loose in my kitchen drawer. I have also written down my recipes "from memory", that I know how to make, but never bothered to write down. This way my girls will have all of Mom's recipes when I'm gone.

I too have a 3 ring binder of my recipes. I started it about 3 weeks ago. I bought paper with a weathered scroll on it that I print my recipes on. Then I put them in page protectors along with dividers. I am really happy with it I have over 200 recipes so far.

I keep all the recipes that i get online in a three ring binder. I also have a three ring binder with page protectors in it and I keep all my papers and books on things that I buy. For an example VCR,Washing machine,
Blender and any thing else I might need the receipt or book to in the future.

I have been doing this for years and now have 5 notebooks! "One of these days" I'm going to sit down and weed out the recipes I know I won't use.

This is a great tip! I've been married 39 years, and one of the few wedding presents still in use in my home (along with the stainless steel mixing bowls) is a vinyl binder made specifically for collecting and organizing recipes. Over the years I've only put the best of the best in it, and by now I have quite a collection! It's also fun to look back at some of the earliest recipes I saved.

This is a good tip and it reminds me that I want to go through my mother's recipes with her and get her rememberences of them (she's 91 and some of the recipes are from my grandmother and great-aunt).

A friends young daughter got married a couple of years ago and I printed out some of the families favorites handed down from my grandma. She was really pleased with it. My daughters were always calling and asking how I made some recipe so I made them a book also. Nothing like passing on good homemade recipes. I love them.

Keep Recipes in a Three Ring Binder

To keep my recipes clean, I place them in a plastic sheet and organize them in a large three ring binder. When I use one, I take it out of the binder. When finished, I wipe up any spills then return it to its place in the binder.

To keep individual recipes filed neatly, I used a 3 ring binder, and fill it with clear page protectors.
