Organized Recipes Make Life Easier



Last year, I decided to organize my recipes. Believe me, it was no small task! I bought white binders and tab dividers and began de-cluttering, categorizing, hole punching and filing all my recipes into their appropriate volumes. I created individual binder covers and spine inserts for easy access.

When I find a recipe in a magazine, such as Better Homes and Gardens, I go to their website, print out the full-page recipe and file it. This prevents small recipes from getting lost, keeps clutter to a minimum, and makes recipes a snap to find! Categorizing and organizing save valuable time when planning and preparing meals.
