Recipe Binder

This is one of the first projects I started during this organization kick. I finished it in pretty good time but then I wanted to add some pretty paper to the front/spine. I have TONS of patterned paper but I just couldn't seem to coordinate bringing the binder to my craft room.

Finally done! Well, I may eventually add a label (printed or stamped) but for now, I just like looking at the pattern.

 As you can see, it is quite a large binder. It has to be with all the dividers I have inside!

Each of the dividers has pockets! These were a fabulous find at the dollar store!

 Within my Menu Planning section, I have subcategories...

 At the beginning of every section (ie. Desserts, Entrees), I have a free printable from I Heart Organizing. I will use this to track "Tried and True" recipes from other sources (ie. cookbooks, my other recipe compilations).

My categories are vast!

• Menu Planning
• Breakfast - Pancakes
• Breakfast - Waffles (I need to divide out the pumpkin recipes in both of these breakfast categories!)
• Breakfast - Other
• Breads/Muffins
• Appies/Dips
• Soups
• Salads
• Sides
• Entrees - Pasta (I plan on subdividing this by meat)
• Entrees - Beef
• Entrees - Chicken
• Entrees - Pork
• Entrees - Vegetarian
• Entrees - Other (for things like sausage or tuna... I don't care for any other type of seafood)
• Desserts - Cakes
• Desserts - Cookies
• Desserts - Other (I need to divide out the pumpkin recipes in Desserts as well... love me some pumpkin!)
• Beverages
• Cooking Tips

I will probably further subdivide my poultry into chicken and turkey and all my entrees will have a slow cooker section. I like being able to find what I want, when I want it!!

Here's a quick video I did just because I'm a nerd like that!!
