I am a couple of years into this decorating thing and am wondering how you all keep your recipes? I have abandoned my little 4x6 recipe cards and am working on a three ring binder wiht computer print offs now. Any other ideas?

Thanks for your thoughts. icon_biggrin.gif

File drawer folder for ideas and "ideas"

Mastercook recipe software. It is very inexpensive and can be very helpful for sizing, costing, and sorting.

I have a three ring binder too for recipes that I find online. My recipes are divided into sections within my binder. I have sections for cake recipes, cookies, icings, and other desserts. I have other recipe books too such as the cake mix doctor. So I have a special storage container for all other recipe books.

Three ring binder with the protective covers over them ... I just wipe them off if I happen to get anything on them while mixing/baking.

I actually keep mine recipes on my computer. So when I need one I print it out. I just toss it away when I finish since it's most likely messed up with something I've spilled on it. Plus when I get a new recipe I just drop it on my "Recipe" folder and the computer automatically sorts them alphabetically for me.

I have a 3 ring binder for my cake recipes. For all my other recipes I have a photo album with 5 x 7 index cards in the sleeves.
