How do you store your recipes?

[Guest guest]

I have so many recipes all over the place! What do you use to store

them - computer files, recipes files? How do you stay organized?

 

* * * * *

 

there are too many recipes in my world too. i have them everywhere, some in

notebooks where i make hand written notes, come on the computer in category

files, tough to make notes but i do use them from the file as well as

printing them out. the ones i try i want to print out for the notebooks.

 

the notebooks i use are the larger ones but i do manage to keep things in

order, maybe i don't have as many as i thought after all if i can keep them

organized.

 

i started with 1 - 3 " notebook and tab sheets now i have several of the

large notebooks, still keep things separate with the tabs. recipes are by name,

in alphabet order.

 

take care, looking forward to learning what others do, there might be a

better way of doing things.

I store them here (I submit them) and use the search function to

retrieve them. Then sometimes I email them to myself (in case the

site goes down). Before joining this group I wrote them down in a

document called my favorite recipes, but it did get rather large so I

like the search function here better, it is very fast.

I save all the emails with recipies I am interested in making in a computer

file.  When I make the recipe I print out the recipe and keep it on my desktop. 

If I did not like it or hubby did not, I delete it and throw away the paper

recipe I printed.  If I like it, I put it in a three ring binder with my

keepers.

Hi,

 

I try to use software called RecipeCenter but

I'm so far behind in putting recipes in there

it is almost worthless (something like my database

of compact discs, 1400 down, another 8000 or so

to go ;<) )

 

Fortunately Eudora mail tool has a great search function

so I can type in cabbage and get every email with it

and every email with a recipe from vegetarian group

(and various and sundry other vegetarian )

is saved in my Eudora mailboxes.

 

Admittedly it takes a little while to take a quick peak

through them all. Potato salad is fun. Let's see how

many 100's of email recipes do I have to look through

here.

I keep a file in my mail titled " veggie " . Then, when I am looking for a

recipe, I can type in an ingredient or part of the title and it will pull them

up for me.

Sometimes I print them out and 3-hole punch them, put them in a binder.

I drag and drop to a word document program and save to a recipe folder.

How do you store your recipes?

When I see a recipe I want to try, I cut and paste and store in my

Notebook under different catagories. Then when I want to try

something out I will print it out. If I like it, it is supposed to go

in my 3-ring binder, but unfortunately a lot of times it ends up just

sitting on top of it waiting to be filed. It does get done eventually.

I have made my own three ring binder cookbooks. I have one for

crock-pot recipes, one for desserts, and one for my vegetarian

recipes. I really enjoy doing this. I have decorated the books and

the title page for cookies, cakes, ect.

I do what Mondy does, as soon as I make something and it's a keeper I post my

recipe to the group if I have time or if it's a groups recipe I place it in my

binder.  I have a binder for desserts and one for main dishes and one for crowd

pleasers so I can use those during the holidays or for a party or a take a

long. 

On the outside of my cookbooks I have a large post-it-note with recipes I want

to try in the future.

I do have a huge stack of recipes from the group I want to try asap but asap

doesn't get here as often as I'd like.  LOL

I print them and put them in a binder, but it's bursting!!

I have two systems:

 

Before computers--I had always had a system of clipping potential

recipies to try. I organized that file just like a cookbook:

appetizers, cakes, cookies, main dishes, etc. Once I try the recipe

and decide it worth keeping, I paste it into one of my 5 three-ring

binders that are organized like a cookbook. Everything is

categorized by the main ingredient and in alphabetical order. If I

take a recipe from one of my many cookbooks, I either photocopy the

recipe or hand write and put it into one of the binders. I always

write on the recipe where it came from including the page number and

name of the cookbook.

 

After computer systems--I simply save them in my folders

organized like a cookbook--main dishes, cookies, vegetables, muffins,

etc. After I try them and decide they are worth keeping, I print

them out and put them in one of the binders.

 

Call me compulsive--I was an analyst for 15 years so organizing is

part of my personality now.
