I have a basket full of recipes I'd like to try one day which consists of recipes which I torn out of magazines or printed out from the internet. I also have a box in my closet which has torn out recipes sorted by category in file folders. Once I try a new recipe the recipe either gets put into my family binder if it is a good recipe and I plan to make it again. But if it is not a good recipe and we all hated it I put it in the recycle bin. The family binder (I have 3 of them) consists of recipes that I have made once or many times. The recipes are in alphabetical order. In the front of my binder I have a master list which is sorted by category. I still haven't been doing the meal planning. Every day I just say today is beef and then I look on my beef master list and pick out a recipe for that day. The next day we would have chicken and I alternate beef/chicken/sausage.

They are the small ones that fit one 4x6 photo on each page. I bought 6 of them and now I can just cut out a coupon (or type it up/write it out) and stick it in there. I noticed that another commenter said she uses the DVO recipe organizer. I use that too. But I still keep a hard copy of all my recipes. So for each recipe I entered on their system, I indicate what (cook)book it's in. That way, I don't have to print out the recipe each time. I also have printed out all my weekly menus and keep those in on of my Target photo albums. Keeping all the menus and recipes in hard copy saved me when my computer crashed and I lost all my DVO Cookin' data/information. Having the menus all in a book also allows me to "browse" my menus when I'm ready to select one and start my meal planning.

One book is for desserts and breads, one is for vegetables and side dishes/salads, and the last book is for casseroles and main dishes. So far this has worked great for me. They are easy to flip through and find the dish you want and don't take up a ton of room.

My recipes also include store bought favorites...like best cake mixes, frozen or fresh appetizers, etc. I have a recipe binder too but now instead of clipping new recipes that I see in magazines and newspapers I immediately find them online and download them and save into my electronic recipe folder.

I have the main folder divided into sub folders like breakfast, main dishes, desserts, appetizers and side dishes. I need to further divide the main dish folder by main ingredient ie chicken etc. My computer is in my kitchen so when I cooking I open the recipe and enlarge it on the screen so I can see it from where I am cooking.
