My new and simple Organizer for Paleo-Recipes

With a lot of new recipes added to my regular recipes, I was in dire need for a good solution. I already had a small binder (which was full anyway), and had started to print out a whole bunch of new recipes. Unfortunately there was no space for the new finds (you can see it a bit on the left).

So the other day, I decided it was time for a new solutions that would fit all of my new recipes.

On Pinterest I found a good number of ideas and decided to create something similar.

So off I went and got my supplies for a couple of Euros:

I purchased a light green basket and index cards. I already had a block full of scrap-book paper and jute.

Using the scrap-book paper I created colored dividers with tabs at the top.

And using white paper I created labels for the front, on which I wrote the different categories of my recipes (Breakfast, Lunch , Dinner, etc.).

Next, I used some more paper and created a label for the front of the basket.

I used the jute yarn to attach this to the front of the basket.

Finally I started writing or gluing my new collection of recipes onto those index cards.

As you can see, there is a lot of space for new recipes. And anytime I cook something, I can just put the respective card in the front (and have a recipe holder included).

Total Cost:Less than 5 Bucks

I think this turned out to be a pretty and effective solution for all of my new recipes.
