Where do you save recipes on your computer?

Where do you find recipes on your computer? 

I find a lot on FB - especially since my cousin's wife posts recipes every day.Her's are always delicious. I store them in my POCKET app. Every so often I go through and delete the ones I haven't used. 

My favorite so far - from my cousin's wife - creamy sundried tomato and chicken pasta.

I take screenshots on my iPhone and iPad of recipes I find on the internet then save them in the Note app.  That way they are easily available on my phone when I'm at the grocery store.

Re: Where do you save recipes on your computer?

I don't save any of them on an electronic device, I print them out and put them in a photo album, yes, the old fashioned kind with

pages and peel back sheets. 

 

When it's time to make something, I'll put the sheet from the photo album binder and if it's no good, toss in the trash and it's gone.  If it is good, date it and mark very good so I can enjoy it again.

I still use a PC and on which I have a folder named "Recipes." That folder is broken down into sub-folders, categories, like a cookbook, e.g., appetizers, beverages, confections / desserts, main dish, etc. As of this typing, 1,700 documents are saved in the sub-folders.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

Re: Where do you save recipes on your computer?

I have a three ring notebook that I started as a sophmore in high school!  Over the years, I've added and added.  The notebook is so over stuffed the outer edge of the notebook is about 4 inches apart!  

 

I also have recipies on the computer in a recipe file.

I use the archive feature in my e-mail for most of the recipes that are of interest to me.  I also have folders for specific ones like baked goods, crockpot recipes, and holiday recipes.  Since I just got a new printer, I do print out some recipes that I use often.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

This is pretty much what I do, in my FOOD folder that's stored in MyDocuments. I've got all of those breakdowns, plus Reference and some separate folders for specific recipe types like barbecue, chicken salad, kale, Chinese food, etc. Just checked and I have 1,153 files in there. But I have more than that many hard-print cookbooks. I love reading about food.

 

Love your recipes, too, @IamMrsG. Always look forward to your thoughtful posts.
