Handwritten recipes from mother's kitchen somehow always turn out better than any book-written recipe. But how do you keep the index-sized cards from fraying or disintegrated beneath food stains? The most-common practice is to purchase sleeves for the cards, but there is an easier way to use your mother's recipes without endangering the card itself: a photo album.
Buy a photo album that has the ability to add sleeves, and you can divide recipes into categories. The photo sleeves will protect your cards while organizing them to fit conveniently on the bookshelf with your cookbooks. Plus, you can use your scrapbooking techniques to decorate the cover.

Most of our recipies are printouts from websites so we've done the same thing with a 3-ring binder and full sized sheet protectors.
ReplyThe added benefit is that the plastic protects the paper from the inevitable drips and spills.
Excellent idea with the three-ring binder. I love the organization and ease of such ideas. It's a great way to make your own cook book with room to improve.
