Also, I’m diabetic so I try to limit sweets and some carbs like potatoes. Brown rice is great in all kinds of things. Steaming in the microwave or stove top is great and I use my rice cooker a lot. I don’t mind baking for an hour or using the slow cooker, but I personally won’t devote any more than 20 minutes. If it takes more than 20 minutes “hands on” time and more than 6 ingredients, I just won’t cook it. I should mention that I have only one rule when I pick a recipe. vegetables…ie: brussels sprouts, green beans, carrots, zucchini casseroles….breakfast, vegetarian. I have to “sort” into groups….ie: fish, beef, chicken, pork, etc. I have 2 whole bookcases of cookbooks and magazines marked just like yours and they aren’t any help if I can’t find what I need. I have a brand new “Neat Desk” for scanning and then organizing with their software. I have no connection with PepperPlate other than being a really, really satisfied user. With the short-life span of some blogs, it gives me a more permanent copy, the same way as if I printed and stored it in a ring binder. Recipes I collect on the internet, I pin in Pinterest and then easily enter the actual recipes into PepperPlate. The one thing I would like to see are bigger photos, which they say they are considering for future versions. When I first started using the application, there were a few things that I thought could work better, but their development responded really quickly to suggestions and the app now works pretty much ideally for me. Pepperplate also has an excellent shopping list component that autosorts the list and can be customized by store, plus a good menu planner. All you have to do do is to add your custom tags to retrieve the recipes as you wish. For larger recipe sites like Epicurious you click on a PepperPlate button in your browser and the recipe enters by itself. With PepperPlate I am building an online version of my private collection that I can access whereever I want and can share copies of individual recipes with friends if I choose.Įntry is incredibly easy and the application auto formats the recipes in a clean, crisp look. I am an avid pinner and love Pinterest for collecting visual foodie pictures, but I wanted ready access to the actual recipes. I was looking for a solution that would allow me to continue collecting recipes from the internet, but to easily copy in my older recipes from my computer and clippings and to scan favorites from cookbooks (including photos), without worrying about public posting and copyright. I wasn’t really satisfied with any of them. I started with ring binders (multiple) filled with recipes, migrated through two or three desktop software applications and created online recipe boxes with several sites. I have over 500 cookbooks and have collected recipes from magazines and friends for years. I am seeing this post many months after the original, but if you have not yet found the solution, you might think about using the Pepperplate application –.

How am I going to organize all of these recipes? When and how am I going to starting cooking them? One of you must have a system you’re using that you’d be willing to share. I’m looking not just organize them but also a system to start actually using them. Slowly, I add recipes, things get jumbled and I’m back to square one. I have tried to organize them in the past but the system(s) I’m using don’t seem to stick. Really and truly, it’s starting to take over my kitchen. Seriously people, I’ve got recipes from the web pinned, I’ve got a binder, a basket, and a folder full of recipes I’ve pulled out of various magazines, and I’ve got a bazillion cookbooks earmarked, paper clipped, and full of little pieces of paper standing in as reminders that there’s a recipe in there just waiting to be made. My collection of recipes that I’m going to make is getting a little out of control.
