I've been collecting recipes over the past few years mostly from my mom that I've scribbled on random pieces of paper that are now thrown in a folder. There is no organization to them whatsoever and it is driving me crazy! I need a way to organize them so I'm not sifting through piles of recipes to find the one I want.
How are your recipes organized? I don't have a way to print right now so something I can do without one is preferable!

How about a binder and sheet protectors?
Separate by apps, mains, desserts

I have mine all bookmarked..I have a few paper ones that I also just have tossed in the cabinet, lol. For the most part I have those memorized (family meat pie recipe, sauce, etc). I second the idea of a binder with plastic inserts!

I use a 3 ring binder with the plastic inserts (my mom started it for me when I went on my own, I've just been adding to it) separated out by Appetizers, Side Dishes, Main Dishes, & Desserts.

I write them on recipe cards and put them in photo albums. One is actually designed for that so it has tabs for different sections (soups, poultry, desserts, etc) and I love it. It was a wedding gift and I've never seen one like it, but I wish I had more! The rest I just sort of know where things are so I can find them pretty quickly.

I have a recipe box from Rifle Paper Co. I use that for the scribbled down ones and the recipes I use frequently from online. The online ones I save on Pinterest. I have a board for desserts, a board for entertaining/gift type recipes, misc. recipes and then one for misc. recipes that I have tried and I want to use again. I delete the ones that are a flop and transfer the ones I like.

We have a binder. I use sheet protectors and the folder dividers to hold loose pieces of paper. At the front I have a list of go to dinners when I can't think of anything when I'm meal planning.

I snapshot them and drop them into a photo album and then put them in dropbox so i have them with me all the time

I have all of mine on Evernote. I have a Notebook Stack of recipes, and each notebook is a different thing (meats, pastas, rice/beans, breakfast, etc).
It's always on my phone or computer, I can take pics and upload them, I can message them, and I love the organization factor.
