After failing miserably for years in getting my recipes organized, I finally did it! I organized all of them and I love, love, love it! I found this great idea from Delicious Days. Although I found that this one was more geared towards “creator” of recipes and I am more of a “follower” of recipes. So I basically used her ideas/concept and adapted it to a more “printer friendly” book.
I can’t even begin to tell you what a difference it has already made in my kitchen planning and organization. I am making one for my “tried and true” recipes and one for my “to try” recipes. I think this will be a good way to plan out meals!
I found most of my materials from Staples. I wanted something that was updated and not just a boring black binder. I found the perfect one! This fun 3 ring binder has a presentation sleeve on the front and on the spine. I also found a sheet protector with tabbed dividers. It still was boring and black but because of all the sleeves, I added a touch of my own flare! I used fun patterned construction paper to give it a modern look!
For the recipes I used sheet protectors. This way I don’t have to deal with paper tearing and also to protect from spills!
I tabbed all of my sections using Delicious Days choice of tabs plus tweaked it to add a few of my own.

After
Now my kitchen library is much more organized and I am a better cook because of it!
I DOUBLE HEART my new recipe book! Thanks Delicious Days for the inspiration!
Now………what’s for dinner? I would love to try this one out from Food Network. I am craving Korean food!
