Like you, I'm trying to make things I like, share them, and then figure out a way to archive them appropriately. I saw Blurb has a cookbook option, so I've thought about putting them in there and eventually printing them... but that's a lot of work. LOL I think it might be fun for me though. sara [at] journey of doinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328180529729262449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-37231030627710136822017-05-09T13:33:42.233-04:002017-05-09T13:33:42.233-04:00I'm really good about keeping things organized...I'm really good about keeping things organized if it's in a book or something I've printed and put in my recipe box- I got really out of hand and made an index for my cookbooks to put when we made the recipe, what we rated it, and what page it was on. When it comes to organizing things online I can never find what I'm looking for!

When I meal plan I use a spreadsheet in Google Drive, and after a recipe has proven successful, I keep a link to it on that same sheet so I know it's "safe" to repeat. I end up getting most recipes off Pinterest with heavy favoritism for Tasty, SkinnyTaste and Budget Bytes. Being able to have just the one sheet open and fill out dinners for the week helps me be the most efficient. But at the same time I feel guilty not using the cookbooks I have! I should start making it a goal to use them at least once a week or something.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390697943483129220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-75112910592949023432017-05-07T13:02:14.529-04:002017-05-07T13:02:14.529-04:00Recipe folder in my aol email and ridiculous messy...Recipe folder in my aol email and ridiculous messy organized storage in my kitchen. Cabinet next to the stove. I have my mint squares recipe on green paper and my pumpkin bread and pineapple stuffing recipe on orange paper. I have peanut butter Tandy cakes on yellow paper. Thank Goddess Hershey's chocolate cake is on the cocoa can. I really should keep all my favorite recipes together. Love. Your. Momma.

For recipes I find online I use Pepperplate, where you can import recipes so you can see them all in one place, search, etc. It keeps the original source as well so you can follow it back. But for books it's another story... For some I use post its, for others I have one post it on the front where I list my favourite recipes from the book and what page they're on. For others it's just freestyle. The dream would be a binder but I think I'd need to take a holiday just to get that done...Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.com
