I have a confession. As much as I evangelize about my tried-and-true recipe organization method, I never seem to cook anything from my paper file. Month after month goes by and delightfully yummy-sounded recipes from Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times and others get filed away. If I do make a recipe, its often something I found on a blog or the web. More often than not, its a whipped-up, semi-homemade, let-get-dinner-done-in-20 creation. I do want to change that and vow to do a better job of utilizing my subscriptions. How do you use all those recipes you’ve clipped, filed, piled, tagged and flagged?
For those of you like me, who seem to have abandoned paper as mode of recipe communication, I’ve discovered two new options for electronic recipe-keeping.

I’m the same way — always printing out stuff that looks good and tearing stuff out of magazines…but hardly ever making it. I have a big ‘ol (unorganized) binder full of yummy ideas, though!
I suspect we are not alone. I’ve heard of some people purging the stash monthly – to keep up incentive. Use or lose approach.
