Here’s something from the Unclutterer Blog that made me smack myself on the forehead and go “Doh!” It’s so obvious . . . why didn’t I do this?

1. Tear out the recipes you like. If they’re back-to-back, photocopy one.
2. Put them in sheet protectors with 3 holes punched in them.
3. Put them in a binder which has dividers marking entrees, desserts, etc.
4. Write on them if you need to (“too much salt!” “Kids like this.”)
5. If you want to be really fancy, enter the name of each recipe into a simple database – use Access or some bilbiography software even – along with cooking time and main ingredients. You can search on these terms later, then go get the recipe you choose out of your binder.
6. Or skip the fanciness, and when you’re looking for an idea, just idly browse through your binder, like a good old-fashioned cookbook.
7. Throw out 4 years worth of VTs

Yes!
