How do you keep/organize your recipes?

I save the recipes I've tried and enjoyed from cookbooks or online sites onto my Dropbox folder. I can access it on my tablet or phone when I'm in the kitchen cooking and I can add other recipes to my folder anytime.
I actually share that folder with my boyfriend and my mom as well so they can add recipes they'd like to try as well.0 -
I use Pinterest for ideas.
MealBoard is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE APP and when I find a recipe I want to try, I can import it into the app (for most cooking website you just have to cut-and-paste the url and the app does the rest). You add your recipes to the day of the week and then sync them to the grocery list. If you have 4 recipes that use chopped onions, it will combine them all for you so you know exactly how many onions to buy! I've taken the time to sync up the aisles in my grocery store so the app will sort all my food by aisle for me and let me know how much I can expect my grocery bill to be! And no, I don't make any money from them ... I just love it!

Seconding both Pinterest and Mealboard. Pinterest is first step...kind of a, "Yeah I want to try that some day" step.
Then when I'm feeling adventurous and I want to try something new, I pick one of my Pinned recipes, import it into Mealboard, do a quick grocery list sync, and the ingredients are automatically added to my grocery list in the order for my grocery store.
I seriously use both apps every single day for this.
Does MealBoard accept recipes from most of the Pinterest links, which tend to be bloggers and not commercial websites? I remember when I first started using Pepperplate there were only certain websites that you could upload recipes from - which kind of turned me off when I discovered Pinterest and started finding more and more recipes on there.
Sorry...just now seeing your question. There is a pretty big list of websites that Mealboard can automatically import from:
AllRecipes
BBC Good Food
Betty Crocker
Bon Appetit
Chow
Clean Eating Mag
Cooking Channel TV
Diabetic Living Online
Eating Well
Epicurious
Fine Cooking
Food52
Food & Wine
Food.com
Food Network
Food Network CA
Kraft Recipes
Martha Stewart
MyRecipes
PaleOMG
Paleo Plan
Simply Recipes
South Beach Diet
Spark Recipes
Skinny Taste
Taste.com.au
Taste of Home
Thermomix
Vegetarian Times
Whole Foods
But any that you can't import directly from, it's pretty quick to manually enter them. You don't have to type them, just copy and paste into the appropriate fields.
You are correct though...the initial setup is the most time-consuming part, especially setting up your grocery store aisles. Setting up recipes gets easier as you go though because each ingredient is saved with the location in your store, so once you've set it up once, it's there for future recipes as needed.0
