Sara emailed in the following tip:
I have subscriptions to Food Network magazine and a few other freebie magazines that have lots of recipes in them. However, I was getting to the point where I was swimming in magazines, post cards, and other cut-out recipes with no form of organization!
I had been given a blank cookbook with empty pages and dividers for a wedding present over three years years ago, so I decided to use it to make my own cookbook with all of my favorite recipes. I bought a few cheap packs of plastic page protectors and decided to compile my favorite recipes and get rid of the rest to free up the clutter in our apartment.
Since then, I have filled it with great recipes that I know are winners in our home. It is a cheap cookbook that can be catered to your family’s tastes! -Sara

I started one like this a few years ago, and have loved it! I too had also gotten overwhelmed by all the magazines and recipe clippings I had about! I have found that it also makes a great idea for a wedding shower gift that is fairly inexpensive! When sending out wedding shower invites you can ask for them to bring along a favorite recipe, then have a table of scrapbooking supplies set up where they can put together a page to add to the bride-to-be’s personalized cookbook!
I started doing this in December with Christmas recipes and just carried on from there. I usually put in recipes that I find online that I love and I put them in the plastic inserts as well, so that I can have the recipe right beside me when I am cooking or baking and I do not have to worry about getting anything on the paper.
