I've looked at some on Pinterest, but was wondering if anyone here made their own recipe book/binder. What did you use/include in yours? I'm in the beginning stages of planning mine out. I bought I nice 1.5 inch floral binder but that's it so far. I want to pass it down to my kids so I want to put thought into it.

I made one years ago in an effort to get DH to help make dinner
Ours just has dinner recipes but this post has inspired me to put the rest of our recipes in there too! I used clear plastic sheet protectors for the recipes and it's held up really well. I used a regular binder with a see through cover and stuck in a pretty sheet of paper.

@HappyBaker: do you have any dividers?
-
I have one! I got dividers with pockets. I have: appetizers, poultry, meat (beef/pork), sides, vegetables, breakfast and desserts. I put tried & true recipes in clear sheet protectors. If they come from a cookbook or a magazine clipping or something, I type 2-3 per page. If I get it online, I just print a nice copy of it.
The pockets on the dividers are the best. I put recipes in there I want to try. It's great because it doesn't junk up my "good" recipes, but it makes it easy to try a new appetizer, breakfast item, etc.
This has done wonders for my meal planning organization! I think I got all my supplies from Target. The dividers are a heavy plastic-y material.

@Bao: I had the cardboard / Manila dividers but they only lasted a year or so. Now I just have these sticker divider things that attach to a plastic sheet.

@SweetCaroline: I was looking for dividers with pockets and couldn't find any! I looked at Target too. Sounds like you have a nice set up!

@Bao: Rats! I got mine a few years ago. These are super cute, but not sure if they will clash with your floral binder.
