I've never been someone who makes a recipe twice, no matter how delicious it is. I simply am not organized enough, and I don't cook enough to have any "classics". I'm not saying I've never made the exact same turkey sandwich twice, or pasta with some Safeway sauce poured over it a thousand times, but I won't find a recipe, follow it, and take it back out again a month later. Once I make a recipe, I put the piece of paper into my giant kitchen drawer--the one I call the "
things I have to file" drawer. It is the catch-all space where important letters, paycheck stubs and recipes go to wilt until I pull out the big file (twice a year). Am I failing? Am I supposed to be more organized than this at 26? I certainly don't think so but it would be nice to pretend like I'm
that not-lazy!
A few months ago I searched and searched for a classic recipe box. Do they no longer exist now that we can store all of our favorite recipes through recipe websites, iPhones, etc? I was beginning to think so when I saw the few options available for recipe storage. Anyway, I must've given up because I am yet to have a solution. So today I decided to do a little recipe "round-up" of my own.

Not sure what I'll decide to buy yet- I really like the boxes, but it seems that my rather lazy kitchen organizing skills would be better kept in check with the file folder. I won't have to write out recipes, and I can put my print-outs into the folder without it looking messy.
Have you seen any awesome recipe boxes lately? Do you have your own system? Are you as lazy about recipe organization as I am?

I was thinking yesterday that I want to do recipes cards. I have printouts all over the kitchen of recipes I find online. I feel like if I make it more than once, then in deserves to be on a recipe card.
