Hi, Muum. Just wanted to pass along a suggestion on organizing your recipes. I, too, had a real mish-mash of great recipes. I would find them, copy them, "file" them, and never could find them when I wanted them. Picture coming clearer?
What I did was buy a five-inch, three-ring white binder at Office Depot and a large packet of sheet protectors. I then made a sheet on the computer and printed it out. It says "Laurel's Favorite Recipes" and I placed it in the front pocket on the outside of this binder. Then I started inserting my favorite recipes into the sheet protectors and organizing them alphabetically so they are easier to find. It took me very little time to do this.
By putting the recipes in sheet protectors, I can take the particular recipe out of the binder when using it. If it gets food stuff on it, all I have to do is wipe the protector off and reinsert it back into my binder.
The huge reward is that when I die, my children will have to fight over who gets my binder of all my favorite recipes! Sweet.
