Since I moved into my first apartment in September, I knew I needed a way to keep all of my favorite recipes organized. I will be cooking for myself for the first time since I lived in the dorms the past two years and had a meal plan. But this year I don’t have a meal plan, so I knew I needed to have some good recipes on hand!
I spent so much time looking into how other people organized their recipes, from binders to photo books to boxes. As I am sure you know, Pinterest can be a dark hole sometimes lol. In the end, I decided a recipe box would work best for me, and I ended up ordering this one from Rifle Paper Co. I debated for about a month whether I should buy it or not, but in the end I am so glad I purchased it! I love the pattern so much, and I can tell this box is going to last me many years.
It also came with cards and dividers, which I was not expecting at all! I guess from now on I should read the product description better…
But these cards are super cute, and all of the recipes I copied from my mom fit on them so that made me happy! I will have to buy some new cards soon since I almost ran out, but I was so glad I didn’t have to purchase some right away.
How cute is this pattern? I love almost any pattern by Rifle Paper Co, but this one is so simple and cute!
My only complaint is that a few of the dividers are labeled things I won’t use. For example, I don’t eat seafood so I will probably never have a recipe in there. But overall I am so excited to be using this recipe box, and it has been working out great. I love how easy it is to find what recipe I need because of the labeled dividers. One of the main reasons I decided on a box was because you could keep it super organized, and you can easily take the recipe card out when you want to cook something. I can’t wait to try even more new recipes and add them to my trusty box in the years to come.
