This is why I love Pinterest. I have a "recipes to try" folder, and a "make again" folder. All the recipes I find online go in the first folder, and when I try one and the family likes it, it moves to the "make again" folder. If it becomes something we make often, then I will print it off and include it in my recipe binder. Less paper waste, and less space taken up in my binder/cupboard. Love how organized your system is though!

Kimmy! Your cookbook shelf is bending from all the great recipes and books! Try taking it out and flipping it upside down! It will slowly bend the other way and straighten out!

I looove this challenge! I got rid of so many of my cool books because Pinterest is so convenient!! Lol

I moved to the binder system over a year ago and only keep tried and true recipes in them. I got rid of all of my cook books and only wrote down the recipes that I wanted from them. I don't miss them at all. I go through my binders once a year and pull out anything that hasn't been made during that year. Keeps me so organized! - Shelly

I love your binder system! I have gotten rid of so many cookbooks but I still have a lot in my cupboard with recipes I'll never use!

This was the perfect video for me to wake up to and watch while drinking my coffee 💆🏻☕️I've been telling my boyfriend how I want to start recipe binders!! You totally had given me the idea!! Once we get one of our bedrooms turned into an office, I'm going to get my butt in gear getting organized with that stuff! Thanks for the video, girl 💜

Would you please do a video of your cookbooks? Would love to see which ones you have, which you go to the most, etc! I LOVE cookbooks & cooking magazines!

Binders!???? Really!???? Girl do yourself a favour and buy you the Paprika app. We’re living in the 21st century! Binders… That’s ridiculous 😂😂😂😂

Love this idea. Love the tried and true recipes to put in the folders. Some of the Pinterest recipes I've tried have been flops. Going to get me some folders today!!! I want to be more organized. Also, good to pass down to your children when they get out on their own. I know my daughters are always asking "hey mom", how do you make your potato salad again!!! 😂

Do you have somewhere a bunch of your Insta Pot and Crock Pot recipes? That's what I need. We get in ruts with the same 'ol thing!!!

I LOVE a good binder system! I discovered several years ago that if I separated my life and stacks of paper pile-ups into Christmas Advent, summer bucket list, budget, important documents, church callings, and school year, blah, blah, blah, etc, that my brain was so much cleaner and organized. Sort of like my Harry Potter Pensieve. 😂 It helps so much with my ADHD to know that I don't have to remember all the details... I just know where to go look for that info. 👊🏻 I have never thought to organize recipes in this way, though! Genius Kimmy! I seriously get in such a cooking rut because I use the same old same old. You've inspired me to look through the cookbooks. But first... finish sorting my laundry. Haha!

I thought I was the only one that made binders like that! I do the same thing as you 😊

I have to try this. But sadly i only have 2 cookbooks! Maybe I need to go buy one to fall in love with!

I plan my menu for the week using my cookbooks! Every week I use a new cookbook, I have almost 300 cookbooks and I love them. I am looking for a way to organize my favorites

I have ADD, and have a tendency, as you can probably relate to, of getting overwhelmed, starting projects, and moving on to another project without completing the first one. I have become vegan, and need to collect some tried and true vegan recipes, and meal plan. I need to organize myself in this area. I started a RU-vid channel in December, and then put all my videos on private because of my disorganization, and procrastination. This challenge may be a great place to start with new videos. Hugs

Hi my name is Jennifer all the way from zimbabwe:) first time commenting on your channel. Love to watch your channel think you are great. Love your system. I love cookbooks so up for the challenge I think that is great xx

oh what a great challenge! I need to work on my recipe binder though its a hot mess!

I just got rid of half of my cookbooks cause I never use them and we're moving so I really don't want to pack them. Good luck with the challenge, sounds fun

I would love to just sit and go through all your binders - and " borrow" recipes 😊😉

You are so organized...very impressive. I use a binder system too but its all in one. I like you idea of breaking it down into categories

You know that's a really good plan

so excited for this challenge!

Kimmy, I'd love a video of you taking us through your cookbooks, and telling us why you enjoy those cookbooks (i.e., why you didn't donate them when you purged). Many thanks!

great idea! do u have any favorite freezer meals or any ideas for picky eaters

This is AWESOME!

I love this system! It seems so easy and manageable! Thanks for sharing!

I've been lazy and just using pintrest. I have a to try board and then a love board. I should put it in binders.

Kimmy I'm desperate to organise my home and watching you has been great but where do I start? My anxiety has gone nuts just thinking about it. I work mon-fri 0830-1700 and want weekday croc pot meals, food in the UK is really expensive and we don't have Costco or anything like it! Any advice would be greatly received 👍🏻😘

I have been doing this by..how they are cooked. Crock pot Bread machine Air fryer But..l am raming my head against this system..grrrr

Good morning Kimmy!! That is a brilliant idea! Looks like I just added reorganize/declutter my cookbooks to my cleaning list this month lol....I take your challenge! However I do not have instagram, but I do have FB will you be able to see it if I place the pics and # there?

I have like 4 or 5 binders. I have a ton of cook books too. The first one I got was Joy of Cooking. It was a gift from my mom when I was getting married. I was a horrible cook back then. Partially why I'm a vegetarian now. You can't mess up vegetarian dinners.

Well, I literally own no cookbooks, none. So nothing for me to fall back in love with. Lol! I got rid of them all! You have a great idea for a challenge though and I've been meaning to organize my recipes in binders forever!! :-)

Cool challenge! It will be extra fun for me; we're not spending any money on groceries this month, haha. I've just been thinking about changing the way my recipes are organized; I think you've sold me on the binders. :)

your my life mother goals. :/ one day I'll be like you. but for now...I'll watch an try to learn. ^__^ don't stop making videos

Just started meal planning this year. Just seen this video. I'm going to do this challenge this month. May..

I have separate binders for recipes as well. I do take it one step further though. I make dividers in my binders. Example for chicken, I have a section for slow cooker recipes, grill recipes, oven recipes, etc. That way when I meal plan and have a busy schedule I go to the slow cooker section and pick a recipe from there. On less busy days I can pick a recipe that would take more time to prepare. Also, I have file folders for new recipes I want to try. If we like a new recipe, then it goes into the binder.

Hi Kimmy, Can you prep some freezer meals with a beef roast and a pork roast for your instant pot? I made your freezer cafe rio chicken and it was delicious!!! Thanks for the awesome meals!!

What a great idea. I grabbed a book, Casual Suppers by Better Homes & Gardens. Can't wait to find a yummie recipe.

great ideas! I heard you mention a gluten free recipe binder. Which one is your favorite? I'm gluten free and am always interested in recipes that work and tase as good if not better than the gluten counterparts. I hope you do a gluten free recipe demonstration video in the future.

I don't have a smartphone to do that but when my daughter is home from college I'll have her take a picture because I'm excited to get my favorite cookbooks out of storage when she is home. I was wondering do you mind if I try out your shrimp taco recipe we have Mexican Tuesday and I saw your new haul and you said Shrimp taco's and was like Hmm because I love shrimp and have some in the freezer. sorry I also have add and I get side tracked a lot I love your channel if I haven't said that before and my grandma also likes your channel is how I started watching (Lisa) oh with your Dirty Cokes can you do that with Dr. pepper and where do you get your Torani do you buy it on line or do you have a store that sells it. back home we had a store that sold all kinds my fav was butter rum but now I cant find a store here that has it.

oh my goodness, I have so many cookbooks, need to organize like you. I do have the big binder with dividers, but I like your idea better. Also I am doing a german dinner Thurs., haven't used that book for a year.

I don't really watch a lot of your cooking videos because we are vegetarian/vegan. I would love to have you use that vegan recipe book I spy on your cabinet!!!!!

Your system is so neat and put together. Love your cook book challenge and will try to do at least one new recipe a week from my books. I have never used instagram and am not very computer savvy so won't be able to post there. Just want you to know I am motivated to get myself and books in order. Time to go through my stack of loose recipes too and possibly make my own goto recipe books. Thank you.

I only have one cookbook and not wanting to get anymore. I just mostly prefer finding recipes online now. I just use index cards to write out our absolute favorite recipes we try. I have a recipe box they stay in. Maybe down the road that'll fill up and I'll have to start using a binder also. Love your system!

I might be able to do the challenge, but I will be gone for 2 weeks this month. lol And I don't have instagram. How else can I get a picture on here?

If you only have the recipes you have tried and love in the binders, where do you have the onces you would love to try and have printed?? I hope I am brave enough to accept your challenge I love that idea. Lots og hugs Ninna

I love this idea! I have a few cookbooks that I don't even think I have used so this will make perfect time to try. Thanks so much for the idea . Lotsa love.

I love cookbooks! I have one large binder I keep my tried and true recipes in with the sheet protectors, but love the idea of separate smaller binders. Thanks Kimmy!!

Kimmy you should check out the Company's Coming series I use lots of recipes from this series...

Challenge accepted 👍🏻. (I must have a couple of hundred cookbooks)

I usually find my new recipies from Facebook I do not have any cookbooks that I use.

The challenge is an awesome idea. You can also just scan and print the recipe you tried and love from a recipe book and add it to your recipe binder. More shelf space.

Most all of my recipes live on PlanToEat.com though I did just notice I can print them out if I want to.

ugh you know ur gonna have to make those creamy bacon thyme whatever chicken thighs right? i couldnt focus in and freeze recipe lol

What's your favorite cookbooks? I have a few but they r super old and I haven't gone through them in years

this sounds like so much fun!!! do you mind if I share on my channel?

love the idea . the only thing that would drive me crazy (and it is just a preference nothing intended to be rude) is that i would have to have them in sections for crockpot and instapot and so on

I have been thinking about separating my recipes too. What do you do with your new recipes now?

Do you put a recipe from your cookbooks into one of your binders to find it easier or do you leave it in your cookbook? I am often wanting to make something we enjoy and cant remember what cookbook?

I so badly would love to do the challenge, However, my cookbooks are all in storage until we get moved.

Hi i just suscribed this is a great way to keep your recipe ideas i cant wait to watch more of your videos thank you for sharing

I wish we had Zaycon Fresh here!! That would be so convenient!!

I've been wanting to do this but I feel like I barely have time for anything.

How do you like the zaycon fresh you not the first person I've seen that uses it they come to my area is it worth it?

Already looking at my cookbooks! Looking forward to #cookbooklovechallenge2017

I may do this too. I did purge many of my cookbooks though so not totally sure if it will work for me. If it does, I will post.

I'm starting a vegan diet for me and my kids this month and would like to get something like that

hi can you do a video on freezer meals without meat using beans, cheese etc. thanks

I don't do instagram but I except the challenge.

After you try a recipe out of a cookbook, do you then scan it and put it in with your favorites binder?

Do you use your vegan cook book much? We're you or any of your friends vegan?

I counted all the cookbooks that I have in my home and it totaled to 77 cookbooks in all.

great video. my recipes a disaster. You inspaired me to do something about ir👍😘

Very good idea ma'am I'm so appreciate you I really need that

Will you be doing some more bulk freezer meals videos in the near future

Where did you find your pretty printables for the front of the binders

Love your system. can you do some of your gluten free recipies?

I don't have cookbooks because I have the internet

couldnt you take recipe you like in the books copy it and put it in your folders?

those are some really smart ideas and suggestions! I am totally going to have to implement this at home.

This is an excellent idea! Any tips on how to get the printable inserts?

Can you put all your recipes on your website please please

oh I need to do this. the larger binder isn't working for me either.

I collect cook books and never use them im bad for it

I have that chicken and thyme recipe too. So good!

Can you please share your binder covers?

Your hair looks so much better! Thanks for sharing I have so many recipies that i have got out of magazines or from stores over the years. I have been trying to think of a way to arragne them so that they srent just thrown in a recipie box, tgis is a great idea Kimmy, Thank you!

Ooooo that's not hard for me I only have 4! Lol

I currently have my favorite recipes in a binder too. Hopefully someday I will have enough to split them up in a system like yours. I love what you have done. I kind of decided to do the same as you and pick a recipe I have been wanting to try from my cookbook and I am going to make it this next week. It is Mustard Marinade Pork Chops. If I do it I will tag you on Instagram. Love your videos and ideas!

How do you organize recipes that you have printed out but haven't tried yet. That is my biggest weakness! I print out so many recipes (it's relaxing for me) and I have no idea how to organize them. Then it's time to meal plan and everything is just spread out all over the place. Any advice? Also - love this challenge idea!

Tfs Kimmy!!! Have a blessed day!!!!

Great challenge! Will do :D

I am stealing this idea. it's great.

im up for the challenge xx

You rock and love your videos

Love this challenge!

Love this! I am SO up for this challenge. I have been horrible lately at meal planning and this will inspire me to get back on track. I have gone from monthly planning to waking up and wondering what the heck I am making for dinner. That just sets me up for a stressful day. tfs!

this is a fantastic challenge! I have a few cookbooks I've bought and also a ton that my mother gave me that were also my grandmothers and I have yet to bust those bad boys out. challenge accepted

Love this!! I've got a few cookbooks that I used to cook out of all the time years ago (pre-pinterest days lol) and it would be great to get back to using them again. Poor things 😟 must think I've forgotten them, where they've been cooped up in my kitchen cabinet for so long lol.
