That way when I'm cooking that night, I just flip to the sticky note, use the recipe, keep it clean within the page protector, and it stays in place so I don't lose it somehow.

After years of struggling with my recipes I finally have a system down and it's very much like Kamara's. I have the pockets dividers for recipes to try and I keep a list of cookbook recipes I use all the time with cookbook name and page number listed. One list I have at the front of my binder is a list of all the tried and true recipes I make broken down by meat, poultry, fish, side dish, etc. That way when meal planning for the week I can look over the list and pick a variety of meals and side dishes. Before creating this list I often forgot about some meals I had made so this is a great reference tool I use each week.Tiffany H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05798574542283804635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-13163218739205203472011-05-11T13:06:11.301-05:002011-05-11T13:06:11.301-05:00I love this idea.
