2 Great Ideas for Organizing Your Recipes

July 20, 2010 by Amanda Formaro

How cool is this? I’m an avid baker and cook, so keeping recipes organized is something that is always on my mind. I love how Leanne, over at Organize and Decorate Everything sorted out her favorite and most used recipes and created a wonderful display that looks great in her kitchen!

Get some inspiration on organizing your favorite recipes here.

Do you collect a lot of foodie magazines? I know I do. I am forever referring back to folded pages and my shelves are overflowing with tattered magazines.


Well Katie, over at Good Life Eats shows you how to finally take control of those magazines and get your the recipes you want into a neat and orderly binder that outshines folded corners any day!

Get the how-to from Katie and make your own magazine recipe binder today.

    LOVE the recipe box. I think I am going to head over to BIG LOTS today. I already do the album, but I like something at my disposal quickly. I also made a special Weight Watchers one and tore out all the recipes from my magazines and made a special book for that one too. I made a special recipe scrapbook to share all of mine, my mom’s, grandma’s and so forth’s recipes.

    LOVE THIS BLOG POST! Keep it coming

Homesteading is Trending! Here’s Why The Practical Guide to Homesteading is the Ultimate Step-by-Step Blueprint for Beginners Looking to Live Off-Grid

If you’ve ever dreamed of ditching the urban grind and living a more sustainable, self-reliant life, The Practical Guide to Homesteading is the book you’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re looking to grow your own food, raise livestock, or become energy independent, this comprehensive guide is the perfect starting point for beginners.

Timberline Preparedness offers step-by-step strategies that are not only affordable but practical, making this guide accessible to anyone, no matter where you live. From creating energy-efficient homes to harvesting rainwater, the author covers essential aspects of homesteading in a way that’s clear, actionable, and beginner-friendly.

What I appreciated most were the in-depth sections on food preservation, water management, and energy solutions. The book dives into various ways to preserve food without relying on electricity, such as dehydration and canning, as well as simple but effective methods of rainwater harvesting. For those interested in growing food, the gardening strategies outlined can be adapted to any space, from a small urban garden to larger rural plots.

Another highlight is the section on livestock. The book provides valuable insights on choosing the right animals for your resources and goals, ensuring that you can start small and scale up gradually. It also covers zero-waste living, financial planning, emergency preparedness, and DIY sustainable construction, giving readers the tools they need to build a homestead from the ground up.

This book is not just for dreamers; it’s for doers. The practical advice, combined with the author’s straightforward writing style, makes it easy for anyone to begin their homesteading journey. Whether you’re taking your first step toward self-sufficiency or expanding an existing homestead, The Practical Guide to Homesteading is an invaluable resource.

In short, this guide is an essential read for anyone seeking to live a more sustainable, fulfilling life, no matter where they are. With its clear instructions, approachable advice, and emphasis on practicality, it’s the perfect blueprint for building a homestead and embracing a self-sufficient lifestyle. Highly recommended!
