Recipe Organization

With the number of recipes we go through, there has to be a method to the organization madness, right?  If the recipe doesn't reside in one of my Martha Stewart Everyday Food publications, my iPad Epicurious app, or Rachael Ray's 2, 4, 6, 8 Meals for Crowds book...

....you will find them in my custom-made ($10) recipe binder.

If we like a recipe enough to call it "a repeat," the proper protocol is to stick a copy in The Binder, complete with tab dividers and sheet protectors that help recipes stay clean.  The binder also includes recipes handed down from family and friends that were initially written on scrap pieces of paper, but have now been typed and printed.  You may even find a few emailed recipes directly from Mom, complete with her comments. :)

One thing's for sure:  I will never use another recipe box again!

My "beef" with recipe boxes:
1)  No one wants to take the time to write on the little lined notecards that are supplied with the recipe card box set. 
2)  The box isn't large enough to house multiple online recipes printed on sheets of paper that are folded into four and stuffed in.
3)  Flipping through all of the cards or folded pieces of paper that you then have to unfold is not an easy way to browse recipes and their ingredients.

To be more earth-friendly, I've thought about browsing for an iPad app for recipe organization, but in all reality, I don't find it as practical.  Not only does the screen get all dirty from my hands, the iPad case also starts smelling like food (not joking!)  The stench makes client meetings during the week interesting....wondering whether or not they can smell my dinner from the night prior on my iPad case while I take notes. :/ 

Organizing our recipes and putting The Binder together did take some time, but it's completely worth it in the end.

Do you have a sufficient way to organize your recipes?
