Any dish we crave to cook can be found in a matter of minutes. Whether that&#8217;s through recipes, we\u2019ve collected online, torn out of magazines, written on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/what-size-are-recipe-cards\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1635\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recipe cards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or the sacred <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/how-to-save-old-family-recipes\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1636\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">handwritten family recipes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that have been passed down for generations. Whichever it may be, if you\u2019re passionate about cooking, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve accumulated a pile of recipes somewhere. However, with an endless number of dishes awaiting to grace your kitchen, there can be a downside to collecting too many recipes &#8211; clutter. A disorganized collection of recipes can be the only thing standing in between you and the next delicious meal you cook. Be it a recipe in a physical or digital format; it\u2019s important to learn how to declutter recipes to achieve your culinary dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tips to Organize Recipes\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, it\u2019s understandable that you may have collected recipes for different occasions, seasons, or based on nutritional requirements.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They may range from grandma\u2019s delicious Apple Crumble Pie to TikTok\u2019s viral<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@emilymariko\/video\/7013103700654689542\" data-lasso-id=\"1637\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salmon Rice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> craze. Wherever the inspiration comes from, having some form of order can help keep your recipe collection fresh. Below are some key tips to help organize your recipes.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Gather Recipes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether your recipes are scattered around the house or bookmarked on your browser, start by gathering all your recipes in their respective formats. Once all recipes have been collected, work through one format at a time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Categorize Recipes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify the categories that best represent the characteristics of your collection. These categories can range from a type of cuisine to a dietary restriction to tried and true recipes. Here is a list of general categories to get you started:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"5\"><b>Family Recipes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"5\"><b>New Recipes<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"5\"><b>Must-Haves<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"5\"><b>Not interested<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Decluttering Recipes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve sorted your recipes into clearly labeled categories, the next step of the process is to go through each pile and decide what to do with them. The category that will be easy to tackle is the recipes you\u2019re no longer interested in. While you may envision yourself wanting to keep all the recipes you\u2019ve gathered, it\u2019s important, to be honest with yourself and let go of the recipes you no longer care to cook. This will free up more space and get you one step closer to building a recipe collection you can be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tools to Preserve Recipes\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have the recipes you wish to hold onto, the next thing you\u2019ll decide is how you\u2019d like to store and access these recipes for future use. There are many ways you can store physical and digital recipes that can be both convenient and safe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider investing in a binder or folder with plastic sleeves for physical copies of recipes. This is a great way to prevent damage or aging to the original copies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-455\" src=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Morsel_Family_Recipe_Sharing_Web_App-copy.png\" alt=\"family cookbook software\" width=\"1200\" height=\"744\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Morsel_Family_Recipe_Sharing_Web_App-copy.png 1200w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Morsel_Family_Recipe_Sharing_Web_App-copy-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Morsel_Family_Recipe_Sharing_Web_App-copy-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Morsel_Family_Recipe_Sharing_Web_App-copy-768x476.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To store recipes in a digital format, the best solution is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getmorsel.com\/\" data-lasso-id=\"1638\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morsel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
