Most items on my blog may be purchased I attended the Stampin' Up! I made 13 of the Birthday Rolodex Calendars for my swap. Happy Stampin' Recipe Organization. About a year ago I bought a cute new recipe binder for really cheap.
The problem is that the sections in this book did NOT work for me. All the tabs were pre-printed, and there weren't any extra ones for me to add my own sections. I knew I was going to have to come up with a better system... so I just started stuffing recipes into the book. Stuffing. Awful, ain't it? This week, Toni @ A bowl full of lemons is challenging people to get their recipes in order.
The first step was to identify what sections I needed. The sections that work for you could be very different from what works for me, but here are the sections I decided on: AppetizersSoup & Salad Main DishesbeefpoultryveggiespastaSide dishes BreadsBreakfast (with a sub section for muffins)Dessert (with sub sections for cookies and cakes)Misc.I made the tab dividers and pages out of scrapbooking paper and cardstock. I was inspired by the recipe clippings books of old.
Now finding the recipe I need is easy. Recipe Binder. A Nurse's First Aid Kit. In my efforts to squeeze every last drop out of summer I’m prepping for a little roadtrip!
And given my aforementioned affinity for injuring myself and my background as a Registered Nurse, I have always carried a first aid kit in my car. The problem is that most pre-made kits don’t have all the things I {as a nurse} like to have available when I fall flat on my face tripping over that invisible rock that just appeared. Not to toot my own horn, I’m a rockstar at first aid. {Ok… my horn might toot a little} Maybe it was all that time I had working with trauma patients and patients who could win an Olympic metal in falling down.
Half of the supplies fall in the wound care arena. 3×4 inch Gauze – these are nice and big for the “bleeders”Elastic Wrap – good for holding gauze to a wound or to stabilize a sprainGauze Roll – more gauze! Cold Compress – for wounds that include swelling… you know, to help keep that downBaby Wipes – for dirt and blood covering the surrounding areas.
