We get a lot of questions about recipe storage. What's the best way to store recipes? Do you have a sheaf of clippings, internet print-outs, and recipe cards? How do you keep it all organized? It seems like many cooks have these questions! So we're always interested when we see storage solutions that accommodate all of these formats, like these recipe binders from Meadowsweet Kitchens.
These sets include a binder, which comes with 12 tabbed dividers, tab sticker labels, and recipe pages. There are three different sorts of pages: Two-sided magnetic pages for clippings and articles; recipe card pages that hold handwritten recipe cards (matching recipe cards are available too); full-page recipe pages that hold computer printouts or larger pages.
If you like your recipes neat, organized, and color-coordinated, this might be a good option for you.
• See more about their recipe organization lines: Meadowsweet Kitchens
• Find them: Recipe Binders at Organize.com. Binders start at $12.99, and the recipe pages are sold separately.

Straw Mat from The ...

Really cute! My Future Mother-in-law bought me a nice Williams Sonoma recipe book last year, but I'm running out of space quickly and I would love to buy these lovelies as the refill pages!
I use evernote to store recipes. The love having the ability to search and tag my recipes and I never run out of room. These are adorable but I would fill them up way too quickly.
evernote? Can you share a link?
I have a notebook so that I can cut and paste recipes from magazines or write in recipes that I find online. It's not as easily organizable but it makes a great scrapbook to flip through when I need some inspiration.
Evernote is an app for iPhone, iPad, etc.
I have a folder in my gmail account called "Recipes". I email everything to myself and have set it to auto-sort all of the recipes into that folder. When I need a recipe, I just open my email on my iPhone and it's right there. Sometimes I use my laptop on the kitchen counter if the phone screen isn't cutting it.
Cute products though!
I finally invested in a plain old 3 ring binder, some dividers, and clear plastic sleeves. I can organize them in whatever order I please, add notes wherever I want, it lays flat when I open it, and it was cheap to assemble! Win all around.

You can email something, clip a webpage, etc. If I see something I like in a magazine, I scan it and save with tags so I can find it. I have recipes tagged as breakfast, quick, thanksgiving, to try, etc
Incredibly helpful for a variety of things.
My grandmother transcribed all of her recipes into a notebook for my mother before she got married and gave it to her as a gift.
The notebook is old and falling apart and my own mother has added her own recipes to the blank back pages and on scraps of paper in the pockets through the twenty years that she's had it.
For Christmas this year, I'm plan to make a book as well as a digital copy of all of the recipes in the notebook (as well as some favorite recipes from other women in the family) and give it to her and various female relations on that side of the family as a gift (keeping one for myself, of course).
I use a regular 3-ring binder and clear plastic sleeves like elizabeth marley.
why not try Cookmarked? it's a free tool to keep all your recipes in one place and help you organize them too.
I like to use old business cards. This works best for recipes with a procedure you're already familiar with, however. My recipes read as numbers, ingredients, brackets, arrows, and the briefest procedural notes like "creaming method." They're then placed in a little box and kept in separate categories with little color-coded flags. Low rent, but it works for me.
