I must say, I am not a huge recipe collector or used, so this is not a huge challege for me. I know people with far larger recipe collections than mine. I just purged my cookbooks before our move so those are really down to bare bones. I do need a better system for storing the recipes I have and the ones I may want to save though. So far I just have this binder that I made when we were first married 10 years ago, it is pretty full and tattered. My plan is to clean-it up and oraganize the recipes so I can find them.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I threw away almost half of the recipes I'd collected. I put in new dividers, they are actually binder pockets, with stick on divider tabs. This will work out so much nicer for me, since I only like to put in tried and true recipes into my binder. I can put the ones I want to try out in the pockets, until they graduate to the binder. I put all my 'tried and true' recipes into sheet protectors, this helps because I am a messy cook...lol.

eww I see you are using your labeler again. It looks great, good job!
That looks so nice!
Great job on this roundup!
It looks nice and tidy now. Is that a menu planning worksheet I see in the front of your binder?
Great looking binder. And I like your idea for using the binder pockets.
Great work getting your system organized again. It looks like you have something that already works for you in place, but I think taking the time to get it cleaned up will help keep it in tip-top shape. I like how you have pockets for the recipes you would like to try and see if they are "worthy" enough to make into the binder with sheet protectors. :) Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for commenting on my post! Your recipe organization looks great!
