Organizing Recipes

I found myself searching through a mess of recipes on Friday. This shopper had purchased everything needed for making spaghetti and meatballs for our family dinner before Trick or Treat on Monday. Then I went to make the meatballs, but couldn't find the recipe. Grr.




Ugh. Just look at that unorganized stack taking up precious cupboard space.



So can you guess what happened? Yep, I decided it was time to finally conquer this task that Jen had mentioned earlier this year.


When Matt and I were married we started out with the traditional recipe card box, but then once we discovered the Food Network we started printing off recipes and then added them to a binder.



Last night I spent I weeded out the recipes we've never used or tried once and didn't like. That left a bit more room in the binder or some dividers.


I used my handy dandy label maker to label each divider.


Now all of our recipes are in the right place and I have a little extra room in my cupboard.
