Organized: Recipe Binder

My recipe binder from here was bursting at the seems so I decided to upgrade.  I went through all of my favorite cooking magazines that I had piled in my cookbook cupboard and picked out my favorites and ones that I wanted to try, tore them out and threw the rest away.  No more clutter!  I also print out tons of recipes from Cook's Country, America's Test Kitchen, and Allrecipes.com so I had to organize those too. 

So I got a 2 inch binder and put in some cute scrapbook paper and used my label maker and put in dividers for each section.

Here are some chicken dishes I want to try from my Eating Well magazine. Looks yummy!

And here are some of the typed of recipes that I had from my recipe card box that I did up a few years ago. That's one thing I totally recommend...type up your recipe cards and streamline them into a cookbook! No more filing! Plus once you're all done typing them up you can save and print them for you and for your extended family!  Now my recipe binder has all my favorites and new recipes ready at my fingertips.  Now I don't have to look through my magazines or make them sit on a shelf forever!  Plus when one of my new magazines come through the door, I can immediately pull what I want and chuck the rest!
