I absolutely love cooking. It is the ONE thing that can change every day in a mothers routine(these do not: laundry, dishes.....).So as I have collected recipes I needed a way to hold "ones to try" & "favorites". I love my system and thought I would share.
My cabinet of beloved Cookbooks. I still try recipes from these and put a "yum-o" by them when I have. Then I transfer the recipe to my binder so it is easy access.
At the office supply store I found these dividers that have a pocket in the front and back. They are great. In the front pocket I put the "ones to try" and on the back pocket I put any tips for that section.
Then in sheet protectors I shrink down the recipe so I can fit 4 recipes on a page. I have labeled them "yum-o"{Rachel Ray's favorite saying} so then I know they are the best! Here is the link for the printable.
I have 4 binders: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Dessert.
Breakfast Binder has tabs consisting of: Just Eggs, Muffins, Quick To Go, Pancakes/Waffles, Other.
Lunch Binder has tabs consisting of: Finger Food, Pizzas, Sandwich/Wraps, Other.
Dinner Binder has tabs consisting of: All Pig Dishes, Beef Dishes, Chicken/Turkey Dishes, Fish Dishes, Bread & Pasta, Drinks, Salads, Sauces/Spreads & Dips, Side Dishes, Soups, Dutch Oven, Other, Baking Tips.
Dessert Binder has tabs consisting of: Candy, Cakes & Cupcakes, Cookies, Finger Food, Frozen Dessert, Just Dessert, Pizza & Pies, Other, Baking Tips.
Hope your "Favorites" are just a fingertip away.
