Binders & Binding Systems

Want to put some spice back into your life and kitchen? It's time to organize your recipes!

When it comes to meal planning and experimenting with food, most of us are derailed before we even start. We are simply overwhelmed by the variety of mediums recipes are floating around on, including:

- Mom's (and Grandma's and Auntie's) old recipe cards
- Our own myriad of systems started (but never maintained) long ago
- Newspaper clippings of recipes-to-try
- Loose papers of all sizes collected over the years

There isn't really one magic ingredient to this project; it's about finding what works for you and your lifestyle. As you tackle your recipes, you'll need a dash of planning, a helping of sorting, and a dollop of maintenance. These are the most important ingredients for whipping all of those loose index cards, handwritten sticky-notes, and magazine clippings into apple-pie order.

When you blend these ingredients together, you'll get a finished product that will have everyone coming back for seconds. Including you!
