How do YOU store recipes on your PC?

Quote  |  Reply

So, I've decided that I need a better way to organize my recipes.

Whenever I see a recipe I like, I copy it into a Word document. I originally only intended to do this with a few, but now I'm in over my head with it haha.
I have no interest in printing them out or anything, so I'm curious as to what the best online/computer recipe organizers there are.

I don't need anything fancy, I just wanna be able to copy the recipes I have into some kind of organizational tool- yes, I know cc does it, but then I need to worry about formatting the recipes to get the nutritionals, etc. It's just not necessary to me.

I don't care if it's online storage or a downloadable program [but please, only suggest freeware], but I'm getting sort of desperate now haha.

TIA!

I put them into the CC Recipe Analyzer whenever possible, so they are saved in My Recipes.  If it's a recipe that has a lot of ingredients or complicated instructions, I have a Word folder to keep them in, with sub folders for different categories.  These are on a CD, not my hard drive.  I've been keeping them for years and have gone through 3 different upgrades of Word.

 

I also enter them into the CC recipe analyzer to see if they are recipes worth saving (i.e. - are they healthy enough for my diet).... But the quickest and easiest thing that I do is to save them to my Evernote notebook. Check out their website www.evernote.com so you can sign up for an account. You can save notes online or by downloading the software to your PC or mobile phone. Then they can all be synchronized and all the notes (even pictures) you save there are searchable. I use this program for recopies, reminders, travel info, articles I want to save, and  text myself other notes and pictures from my cell phone as well.
