Here’s a simple idea that has almost solved all my problems in this department: organizing recipes into photo albums. Each category—beverages, breads, appetizers & snacks, etc…—gets its own album and label, of course. And if you stumble across spare time and inclination (I haven’t yet), you could replace the cardstock inserts on the covers with colors or patterns that compliment your kitchen. Not only am I more organized for this convenient system, but the boys (and Eden eventually) have their own recipe albums as well, and after they have made a recipe successfully, they get to add it to their book of tried and tested recipes they can make independently.

This is a great idea for organizing recipes! Where do you get these photo albums?
I found ours at Target and some others at Walmart for $1.00—depending on the store either in the photo album department or in the crafting/scrapbook department. (:
Now that is one crazy good idea! Love the albums for the kids too!

Hey Aimie (:! The kids like them too. Also, I’m not sure about other printers, but my Apple Pages Application and HPDeskjet let me set the page setting to 4 x 6 and then I can print out recipes onto 4 x 6 blank index cards which is pretty convenient too. We’ve used the same convenient set up (albums and 4 x 6 cards) for some scripture memory work as well.
GOOD IDEA!:)
