You should just SCAN each of your pages and then FILE them using a database program or even save them as Picture Files. You would categorize them the same way you have them manually .. but, it will be a whole lot easier to FIND the one you want IN A HURRY when you need it! AND TAKE UP NO SPACE AT ALL!!! Hi Laura,

I've started trying to get all of my recipes into text files instead of Word to save space. I have a recipes folder on my computer and then folders for the different categories in each one. It makes it easy to search for them. One day I'll get to that stack of recipes... I have a ton of recipes that I’ve torn from magazines waiting to be scanned or retyped.

Buying the lighter weight ones isn't that expensive. The binder is divided into sections. One page recipes get put in back to back to save space. The only recipes that make it into the protectors are tried and true. The things I print "to try" are put in a file pocket in the appropriate section of the binder. That way, if we try something and don't like it, just toss the recipe. If we like it, it gets a page protector of it's own. I like the journal idea. I think I will add a page to each section of the recipe binder to reference the collection of Taste of Home and Quick Cooking.
