How Do You Keep Track of Your Recipes?

There is an app to organize all of your online recipes. I LOVE IT!!!! It's called Paprika. You have to pay a couple of bucks but it is soooooo worth it. You can even make a grocery list in it for one recipe or recipes for the week. It's really awesome. Sometimes I go to the store and I think what was in that recipe, then I remember its in my paprika. So I open it and there it is. It's great!!!! Also, u can search in the paprika browser just like a google search, find ur recipe then save it to ur paprika. It will be there forever.
I also have a binder with recipes in it. These are recipes I have that are not online. Family recipes or some I made up. I keep them in plastic sleeves in sections.
Hope this helps!

I put them in a 3 ring binder. I have recipes separated based on salads, main dishes, soups, etc.
If I find them online I print them out without all the ads and links and put it in the binder.
If they're in a magazine or newspaper, I make a copy of it and put it in the binder.

I now have two binders filled with recipes I love.

Mostly I print them out and put them in one of those twin pocket folders. The ones I use less go in the pockets (like cookies or fudge that I only make once a year or stuff we get tired of but like enough to keep and go back to in 6 months), the ones I use often sit in the middle for easy access. I also have a small pile of recipes on the counter between my fridge and stove for things I plan to make within a 2 week period. It helps remind me of what I planned to make for the week or what I'd like to make soon.

I like printing recipes in the full 8x11 page size because then I have plenty of room to make any notes for things I decide to change (which happens to nearly every recipe I make).

ETA: I love that my frequently made ones are on MFP so I can log in on my phone if I forget how much of a certain ingredient I need!

I used to keep them on line in a folder by screen printing them and pasting to WORD documents - but that became way too much hassle. Now, I simply print them out and put them in a book. Some time low tech is best.

I keep track of the recipes I use with Google Drive. All of the recipes are added as their own drive document and correctly titled. That way the recipes are searchable and I can even give people access to the recipes instead of emailing them a copy or printing it out and handing it to them.

I use Big Oven. You can use it to import recipes from the internet, can set up different cookbooks, tag by meal or holiday, add pictures and you have access to their database. It also tracks your pantry, prepares the grocery list based on your menus, and lets you search by tag, ingredient, or name. You can also adjust the recipe servings. It does cost to be a Big Oven Pro, but the basic is free. I input all of my family recipes (including the recipe for a 'real' pound cake).

Ive been using an iPad app called The Recipe Box for a couple months. I can instantly download recipes from most of the major websites including skinnytaste, cooking light, and all recipes. I can copy paste recipes from Facebook or type them in manually. So far I really like it. It does not scale recipes but that is just a little bit of kitchen math. I can add notes them, categorize them, email them and put them into a shopping list I can print or email to myself.

I also have just started using Cozi and it has a meal planner which I haven't tried yet but looks interesting.

I have a binder with sections labeled "casseroles", "sides", "desserts", "crock pot", etc. and everything is printed on an 8.5" x 11" page and filed. I have an overwhelming amount of recipes and this really works for me.

I just tried PepperPlate and it is awesome! You can save all your recipes on one site.

I have a couple of recipe files that are made for this purpose so they have plastic wallets built in to slide in magazine cut outs etc as well as pages for you to just write on or stick things. I find thos pretty useful for recipes that I find in magazines or if a friend or my mum makes something I like I can just jot it down in one of the blank pages.

For recipes online I have an awesome app on my ipad that allows you to take a recipe from any website at all and then allows you to format it into one template to create your very own recipe book. It is brilliant and I love it

I use it all the time. There are some websites that you can auto import from, at least 20+ sites so if you find a recipe on those sites you can import it with just 1 click, but for sites that it isn't set up to auto sync with, you can still import any recipe just in a few extra clicks but still only takes a minute or two per recipe to transfer it into the app. Of course you can also input your own personal recipes too if you want to add things manually. I have tried loads of apps that all do the same type of thing, mealboard is another app for the same purpose, but the recipe box one is my personal favourite as I just like its layout and find it easy to use.
