I print them, test them, makes notes on what I liked about the recipe and slip it in the sleeve. My only suggestion to you would be to set up sections BEFORE you start collecting willy nilly. Ask me how I know that this is a good idea. I didn't do that and now I have to search, but I plan to organize them soon!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-34319867282933003022013-09-11T11:08:23.718-04:002013-09-11T11:08:23.718-04:00Ohh yes...

When I upgraded to a smartphone about a year and a half ago, the memo feature is the one thing I really missed from my old "dumb" phone- for some reason the smartphones don't have it! So I went looking and boy-howdy.. I have the app on my phone as well as my computer. And yes, I can access my files from any internet access.<br /><br />I use it for recipes, thoughts, ideas for my own blog, half-drafted letters, grocery shopping list, non-grocery shopping list.. yeah, everything!BonusMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230312091498599317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-73100181433970095762013-09-07T04:57:11.023-04:002013-09-07T04:57:11.023-04:00love your book collection...

I've thought of doing something like that... we have a lot of cute options for recipe-keeping at our Archiver's [scrapbooking] store! In the meantime, I have a drawer filled with recipes on index cards and recipes cut out from magazines, etc. You can see it here: http://sally-drinkingfrommysaucer.blogspot.com/2012/02/recipes-cookbooks-and-some-treasures.html It works for me, but can sometimes get unorganized... like when I forget to file them away.Sally @DrinkingFromMySaucerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852430785247119538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-48037720633711015542013-09-06T19:55:19.124-04:002013-09-06T19:55:19.124-04:00Look at all those pretty images.

Love the book with the sweet bird recipe cards.<br /><br />I have a three ring binder that only the tried and true recipes go into -- I have tabs on the side to organize categories of food. I have started taking pictures of the dishes and adding them to the recipe. Makes the book more fun to look at and quicker to spot the recipe I'm looking for.<br /><br />Another binder is for recipes I want to try or want to keep but aren't the best. <br /><br />Love the page protectors because I invariably splash in the direction of the recipe. <br /><br /> Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779023185303694810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-85893936912329511712013-09-06T18:55:04.397-04:002013-09-06T18:55:04.397-04:00Jen- I am saving that lemon pie recipe to use when...Jen- I am saving that lemon pie recipe to use when I have company later this month.

I got a big binder and a package of sheet protectors. I just slip the recipes into the sheet protectors and there they are, ready to go. I also got dividers and put them between sections (sweets, main dishes, etc.) to add a little organization. Good luck finding a system that works for you.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403227845252495375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-13494153202124729282013-09-06T15:27:55.034-04:002013-09-06T15:27:55.034-04:00I would love to know as well!

I have the Evernote app on my phone so I can pull up any recipe at the grocery store while I am shopping.
