I love to experiment in the kitchen and try interesting recipes! However, when I found a recipe I liked, I had a hard time finding it the next time I wanted to use it! I was using a binder, random scrap pieces of paper, torn off backs of ingredient boxes, and pinterest to hold my recipes. Can we say mess? To organize my favorite go-to recipes I decided to use an old school approach - recipe cards.
To start my new organization tactic, I found a box that some 4x6 note cards would fit in easily. I had a fancy cigar box, but you could use a small shoe box, gift box, food container, or go out and buy a brand new one!
I realized that 4x6 note cards weren't "pretty" enough for my favorite recipes, so I went to pinterest to find some free printable recipe cards. I printed off a few different kinds, cut them out, and glued them to the 4x6 cards to give them some weight. You could also just print any recipe card printable on card stock!
Voila! Recipe cards for my favorite recipes! Now when I find a recipe I like, I will just write it on the card and I won't have to print anything off or cut it off a box!
How do you organize your recipes? Do you use pinterest or do you like ol' fashioned paper?
