ORGANIZATION: Recipe Binder Weekly Challenge #3

Week #3 in the Weekly Challenge is the Recipe Binder.

I have had a recipe binder in my household for over 5 years now. It is where I keep clip its and torn out magazine recipes, recipes from the web, as well as all my tried & true recipes. It is full of recipes from all different sources.

For this challenge, I decided to make it look a bit more pretty. For years it has just been a large white binder. Nothing special. Here is what it looks like now.

I got the scrapbook paper at Target for a pack of coordinating sheets for 99 cents.

The spine.

My dividers are just decorative manila folders cut in half and 3 hole punched.

My dividers that make up my binder are:

Appetizers

Beverages

Soups

Salads/Fruits

Vegetables

Breads/Muffins

Breakfast

Meats/Main Dishes

Pasta

Side Dishes

Desserts (pies, cookies, cakes)

This N That (spice mixes, misc)

Kids (Foods that are catered for kids)

Parties (Food for parties & decorating ideas)

Canning/Freezing

Birds (I make homemade wild bird treats)

Food Gifts (jar mixes)

Cleaning (handmade cleaners)

A close up.

Here is a peek at what it looks like inside.

Here's another page.

Here is what I use for recipe cards to make them into printer friendly versions to include in my binder.

Over at Skip to my Lou's she has a AWESOME "Recipe Card Maker". I made these over there! Aren't they are SOOO Cute! 

Go check it out now.

Here are all three of my binders: The Recipe Binder, Meal Planning Binder & a Cookbook I made up several years ago with my Mom's family recipes.

Enjoy!!!
