After I try a new recipe, I either transfer it or trash it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114943541879890574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18857718.post-49805142035097380672013-09-01T15:37:19.723-06:002013-09-01T15:37:19.723-06:00Thanks, Mom!

Barbar...Thanks, Mom! I knew I could count on you!<br /><br />Barbara - Thanks for reading and nice to meet you! I like having something small with me to take down notes as they come to me, too.<br /><br />Nicole - there's a balance, hey? Having a "someday I would like..." plan, but also knowing where it is today... Yay for new binders and yay for sharing yummy recipes with friends!Carolyn Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935634695446380770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18857718.post-91768734669725148452013-08-30T16:20:55.053-06:002013-08-30T16:20:55.053-06:00I recently got my recipes put into 2 binders too!!...I recently got my recipes put into 2 binders too!! I actually started out making lovely copies of them(some for the boys cook books) but then ended up just putting some in that are still just scribbled but at least they are in there. I use page protectors and just slip them into those.Also photo pages...the 4x6 ones work for recipe cards, scribbled scraps:) Eventually I would like to copy all of them but it is sooo nice to be able to find a recipe when I need it. I used binder dividers for sections. I too splurged and bought new binders...haha some of your recipes are in those books:)Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18857718.post-56494493725013329862013-08-30T07:29:13.155-06:002013-08-30T07:29:13.155-06:00Recipes are given one shelf in the bookcase that s...Recipes are given one shelf in the bookcase that stands in the dining portion of our open concept kitchen/dining room. Yes, there's a binder with magazine cut-outs and print-offs. <br /><br />To-do items are written in a small notebook (palm sized) with tear-out pages. This fits into a pocket or slips into a purse. Appointments and anything with a predetermined date and time go into the calendar on my BlackBerry. <br /><br />I hope you find something that works for you!

If something turns out yummy I save it on the computer and print out a copy for my 'Family Cookbook' binder. This binder is what I use most times when cooking or baking with a recipe.<br /><br />Ideas for projects usually just stew in my mind until I tackle it or forget it :} But very often I will post a clipping or hand-written note on the front of my fridge (along with the grandkids' drawings!). They stay there until I actually do it or until I am having a party or something and do a major clean-up where everything goes in the recycle bin.<br /><br />My to-do list usually gets put on my Google calendar AND on a note in my pocket every day!<br /><br />And that's my 2 cents worth and you know how much 2 cents is worth these days.<br />MOM (aka Granny)noreply@blogger.com
