I will also pin, bookmark, star and email them to myself. I have a lot of cookbooks, too that I dog-ear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-63373 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:02:08 +0000 looch 63373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use recipes unless I am baking, and for that I have sheets printed out that I can tape to a cabinet for easy referral.</p> <p>I don't have the desire to cook dinner using a recipe, I just want to get dinner on the table in a reasonable time so I tend to cook things that don't require a lot of steps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-63356 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:56:52 +0000 tequiero21 63356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i print them out and it's stuffed into a drawer in the kitchen haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-63043 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:35:05 +0000 sulli301 63043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use my recipe card box &amp; I love it but I just recently made a menu board (inspired by a pin on pinterest!) that I am so excited to use! The recipes are color-coded by type &amp; the recipes themselves hang below the board. SO organized...I love it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62918 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:40:26 +0000 BSB 62918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG. Zip list is just what I need! This is a great idea. Signing up now.</p> <p>Currently, I print out recipes to fit into my recipe box and I have a few cook books that I use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62872 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:58:59 +0000 BoogieBea 62872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zip list sounds interesting. I have a binder for when we used to print out recipes we like. And we have a few cookbooks. But I mostly just tag recipes on my phone now.<br /> That reminds me. It's the beginning of the week. Gotta figure out our meals plans for the week. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62865 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:54:52 +0000 chopsuey 62865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't.. everything's in my head or I look things up online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62755 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:37:16 +0000 mrsjyw 62755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so bad... most of my go-to's are in my head! Others - I just look up online... MIL is putting a recipe book together of all the old, family recipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62749 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:24:52 +0000 lemondrop 62749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a combination of computer files and a photo book that my MIL put together for my husband with all of her recipes. The photo book is the perfect size for index cards, I have little tabs for veggie, meat, dessert, etc- so I have kept that format and use it the most. </p> <p>I've never heard of Zip List, it definitely sounds like something I'll have to look into! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62721 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:11:05 +0000 heffalump 62721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very old school. Hubby tried to get me to use my calendar on my phone and it just didn't work for me, I need things written down in front of me. For my non cookbook recipes I have a recipe box. Everything goes in there. </p> <p>If I'm making something from the internet I won't print it out or write it down until we've eaten it and I know we like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-how-do-you-organize-your-recipes#post-62718 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:08:55 +0000 Andrea 62718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a variety of things like index cards, saving magazine tear outs in a folder, tagging recipes on Google Reader, Pinterest, but I think I'm going to migrate everything to Zip List. I've been using it for a few months now and I can input all my recipes on there so I can access them from the grocery store. It's easy to search and it will create shopping lists for you with one click. So efficient!</p> <p>How do you keep those recipes not from cook books organized? Do you use apps like Zip List? </p>
