I recently tried to organize all of my recipes, and got so overwhelmed that I put it away until I could come up with a better plan. I would like to add an idea that I have used for sucessfully for years for those "most often used recipes". With a hole puncher, punch holes in upper top corners of recipe cards and attach them to loose 2"-3" binder rings (find at office supply stores). This makes a flip-style, free-standing holder and orgainizer. Insert divider cards for different recipe catagories. It will also fit nicely in a kitchen drawer! This was great info….
