Arghh! My friend created a drawer for my recipes, making a file folder for each category like cookbooks use. this is for clipped recipes and printed from internet ones. Then I copied the files into a WORD folder with the same sub folders. It is so easy to share recipes as an attachment this way or reprint when I spill things on one.
The continuing problem if I forget to copy it to the 'WORD' cookbook is remembering where I found it. All websites want us to create a recipe box on their website. For example I can't remember what I did on two recent fish dishes, usually I enhance recipes I find. I try to pencil in changes or add a post-it to critique recipes for myself.

I write all my recipes down in a blog for each week. That way I can always find it later.
I think I may start organizing my recipes on my blog by putting key words (mexican, italian, asian, etc) but that will be saved for a day when I have tons of time on my hands and nothing to do. LOL

I put all mine into a regular notebook with index tabs as well.
I organized them by typical cookbook things like beef, poultry, fish, salads, soup, desserts, etc. I put all the recipes in alphabetical order, but after a while I started putting the ones I liked most on top.
On all of them I noted how much we liked a recipe - lots of times I love something but my BF hates it, and if he loves it, then that's a great healthy meal we can share (he's not trying to lose weight or change his eating habits).

| Get an inexpensive photo album-the kind with pockets- and insert your recipes. The plastic will keep them from becoming damaged.

| I actually found a notebook that was for recipes. It has a 3 ring binder and the dividers in there and also the clear pages at the back for the little cards. I am sure you could find one online.

| I've used a notebok with catagories on tabs -- I also have a recipe file box - both work well. OR you can keep them in your PC and make files within folders where the are viewable. Sometimes I do that until I actually want to try the recipe and only print it at that time to put in my binder, that way I'm not messing with extra paper.

| I use a 3-ring binder with page dividers. When I find a "keeper" recipe I print it, punch holes, and put it in the appropriate section of my binder. I don't go so far as using page protectors or anything, but that is an option too. The nice thing about the 3-ring binder is that when I'm cooking I can remove only the page I want and not have a bulky cookbook on my counter.
