Recipe Box

I have tried many times to organize my recipes. I have bought the books that the cards can fit in, but ran out of room to add plastic protectors. I have the three-ring binder with clippings and printed favorites. I often run from one to the next and then to all the cookbooks I have for the one I'm looking for and can't remember which book or binder it is in. I decided that I want to put all my recipes in one place, so I made this box. It will take me some time to get the recipes that aren't on cards yet ready for the box, but I know in the end I'll be happy to have one place to go looking for those recipes. I used the idea from Sister's Stuff to get me started. Great inspiration!
I added the conversion chart to a card in the back of the box so I could have a quick reference. Just another way to keep organized in 2010.

  1. This is very creative and really cute. It would make a great gift for a bridal shower as well. Where can you buy the box at?

  3. Really cute! I need to make my own... the box I have has the weirdest pre-printed divider tabs that don't match with the types of foods I make at all. Great idea to include the conversion chart too!
