This summer, I have been spending tons of time in my kitchen. With my new vitamix and my kitchen aid mixer, I have been cooking and baking up a storm.
“Food is very important to me, and health is my top priority. I believe food is healing, physically, emotionally, and mentally.”
One of my favorite type of magazines to read are food magazines. But unfortunately, I have become a food magazine hoarder – Scary and embarrassing. So, I will admit there are piles of Vegetarian Times and Veg News in every corner of my house. Â These stacks have got to go…
So I have come up with a couple solutions to organize my recipes…
Pin it...
One major thing I have done is clean up my pinterest profile. I will now have pinboards for each major meal. This will help you guys, my readers find my favorite recipes quickly. So make sure you follow me on pinterest!
I also now have a recipe page on this blog. This page will be organized in a similar way. It will be simple and easy for you, my readers. I will have it organized in sections by meal. Then I will have the name of the recipe listed with a link connect to the blog post. Each recipe will also be labled V for vegan/vegetarian, GF for gluten free, P for paleo.
Recipe Box
At home, to get rid of the magazine stack I now have a recipe box. I have wanted one of these for a long time now, but they are actually really hard to find. With the internet being my generations main source for recipes, the recipe box, has become an old fashion technique to store and organize recipe ideas. Â However, it is something my mom and grandma always had.
I like this idea because I will now be able to hand write my favorite recipes on index cards to store in the box, which I later will always have on hand. I also will be able to share recipes easier with friends, when I entertain. Â And the ultimate best thing about this box is that I can clip my favorite recipe from the magazines and store these magazine recipes in the box eliminating my magazine stack.
So thats my plan for my recipes… That way I can cook the best I can and eat the best I can.
How do you keep your recipes organized? Where do you find your favorite recipes?

I’ve made decisions meals from blue apron- it’s a website that sends you food supplies and recipes for the meals they’re sending. You don’t have to buy the meals but their recipes are still available. I usually just “pin” recipes I like. And by I pin, I mean my boyfriend does… Yes, he loves to pin recipes haha
Yes, I have heard of that before, and also plated. Thanks that is a great idea for recipes.
