It's so nice to look through them, even if I don't use them that much. She wrote notes in them, so I can see her handwriting. And, it brings back happy memories.Donna Stewarthttp://www.facebook.com/people/Donna-Stewart/532750503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-62360747436658626312012-01-05T10:32:21.034-06:002012-01-05T10:32:21.034-06:00Not long ago, my granddaughter told me that when I...Not long ago, my granddaughter told me that when I die, she wants my recipes.... ALL of them. That made me very happy! So, I dejunked my cookbook shelf - getting rid of the ones I don't use and never will, and I carefully transferred recipes that I use a lot and some heirlooms onto the larger index cards, put them in plastic sleeves and into a nice metal card box. I put a note on the box that says it and all of my cookbooks should be given to the granddaughter after my husband and I are gone. Amongst my cookbooks are three 3-ring binders. One is labeled "cheese" - because I make cheese. The next is labled "GNOWFGLINS" and that has my WAPF friendly recipes. The last one is just "recipes" and contains those that I've collected and love over the years. Each recipe is in a page protector. At least THAT part of my junk is organized!Yolandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-67531582609015209612012-01-05T09:59:10.253-06:002012-01-05T09:59:10.253-06:00I've gotten rid of so many cookbooks that rare...I've gotten rid of so many cookbooks that rarely got used as I don't have much space for storage right now. I have a binder that I keep lots of them in. But, I need to go through it and discard recipes that I never make. I like your idea of rotating them out.Pamhttp://ramblingsofahappyhomemaker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-43081738598435813252012-01-02T21:43:36.769-06:002012-01-02T21:43:36.769-06:00I have mine in a cupboard as well, pretty organize...I have mine in a cupboard as well, pretty organized for the most part. I like the idea of having a few on display at a time, I might give that a try! My problem is all the Taste of Home magazines I have, I love to get them out from time to time and look for new recipes to try but I have so many, maybe I need to try your binder suggestion and start recording our favs and just get rid of the magazines all together :)Stephhttp://steph-beentherebakedthat.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7308600452665644986.post-18379065861656285082012-01-02T09:45:53.452-06:002012-01-02T09:45:53.452-06:00Most of the time, just taking up space!

Now, finding the time to tackle it will be my challenge. I do have all my cookbooks in one cupboard at least (1 point for me). But, I also like the idea of picking one a month to set out & use!
