Organising recipes

[Montoya]

Hello fellow thermies,
I was just wondering how everyone organises their recipes from this forum and other internet sites? Do you print out and keep in a folder or organise on your computer? Would love to know how everyone does this. Thanks!

I print the recipes I want and put them in a display folder in plastic pockets.
I can add notes and tweaks easily and the recipes are protected in the plastic sleeves.
This works well for me.

I cut and paste into Word then print them out and keep them in a folder, however at lot of our members use various electronic recipe programs and there has been some discussion on this topic in the past so I am sure you will get a few responses and links from them.

I bought a tablet which sits on my kitchen bench.  Recipes saved to favourites or I just google them.   Bring up the recipe on my tablet.  No having to dig out and organise paperwork. Easy peasy

In the beginning when i got my TM i was emailing them to myself , no need to say how many  .
I have stopped that now . what i do now is , if i like a recipe i will do it on the spot if possible then i will take a photo ,write all of  the information, who, when, how, and why lol then print and save a copy on a USB

I print out heaps 'to try'. Then as I try them, if we like them I put them into a display folder file  with comments etc. When I have 100 (which is what my folder holds) I do an index for it and then start another file. It's a bit cumbersome but suits me.

Atm I copy and paste into Word, then take the laptop into the kitchen. I have 2 folders under documents. One I have tried and will definately make again and one to be tried.

As I have a very small kitchen, this is becoming a pain and I am afraid I will wreck my laptop and then won't be able to get on here 

After seeing JDs box, I am going to endeavour to do this too. Now on the hunt for a nice box with Roosters or Chickens on it to match my kitchen.  I thought I would also colour code my recipes or perhaps if I can find the paper, using paper with a little pic on it (say bread or cakes etc). I could then cut the picture out of one and use that as the tab. I hope this makes sense.

Have A Merry Christmas and a Thermie New Year

Wow Judy! I love your organisation. This is what i will aspire too. I am a primary teacher so am very organised but usually I laminate things for my class. I think I'll go with this system as I like the fact that you can wipe clean the recipe. Where did you get your box from? Thanks everyone for all the other ideas too.

Just from one of those cheap jack stores Montoya - I couldn't believe my luck to get something the exact size I needed, depth was important too.  Just thought of the name of the shop - the Reject Shop.

I copy mine to Word, save them in a special folder on my laptop. Then if I decide that I want to cook one of them, I print that one out. After the cooking, if I decide it's a 'make again', it goes into one of those A4 display books. Except I now need to add more plastic sleeves to it ... Have been thinking about buying a new display book, so that I can have one savoury, one sweet.
