recipe book re-do

For the last year I have fought with my tiny recipe box.  

Sorting, organizing, searching, cursing.

 Finally in a moment of clarity, I decided I had had enough.

I brainstormed for an afternoon what recipe-organization-perfection would look like for me.

Enter Amazon.

I ordered a two-inch binder, a set of dividers and package of 100 sheet protectors.

Two weeks later my package arrived.

Then I set to work separating recipes into like groups:

• Main Courses
• Dessert
• Fruits & Veggies
• "kids" (ie playdough, flubber, clay)
• Breads

I taped the recipes that were one-sided onto printer paper.  

The ones that were two-sided, I just slid into the sheet protectors.

Then I took all the cutouts I had saved from sorting through my pile of magazines and made a fun cover for it.  Every time I pull it out, it puts a smile on my face!

It is super cute and organized and functions exactly as I need it to.

Win!
