Back to Dirty Little Secrets Index Dirty Little Secret Do you have stashes of recipes to try “someday”? Here is my system to find and make them… by Maria Gracia Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest Dirty Little Secret is available. I keep a three-ring binder in the kitchen for the purpose of holding recipe cards and recipes that I cut out of magazines. Each recipe is placed in a plastic page protector in this binder in my “Try This Recipe” section. Now I can find the recipe easily. I only allow 25 untried recipes at a time. If the number goes over 25, a few of those I haven’t yet made must be recycled. Once I determine that a new recipe is a “keeper” it goes into a permanent section in my binder in the appropriate food category. You can apply the same concept with recipes you find on Pinterest. Just keep a Pinterest folder titled “Recipes to Try” and only allow 25 at a time. Keepers can be filed into your Pinterest “Chicken” folder, your Pinterest “Dessert” folder, etc. as applicable. Only allow recipes you tried, and liked, in your permanent folders…so you can find them again. Back to Dirty Little Secrets Index
