Interesting. I'm hoping the computer will help me get organized because my recipe book is overflowing. I had a book that was organized by food categories. Many are written in the book (it's a 3 ring binder) but I've added tons of recipes printed from the forums, pulled from magazines, etc. It's a mess! It's so full that the front cover broke off and now they are all smeared over the lower cabinet where I keep them. Yuck.

I'm down to about eight recipe books. I purged them last year. I realized that many of the cookbooks I was keeping only had a few recipes in each that I used. I copied them into my book and got rid of them. Now I want to get all of them organized on my computer.

One of the reasons I'm being moved to do this is because my daughter has said that she's going to need them when she moves.
