What is your preferred way to compile and make easily accessible recipes from a wide variety of sources? I have several cookbooks with a small number of recipes I like, recipe cards of widely varying sizes, a few sheets of printer paper, and online bookmarks.

I want to do better at meal planning, but can never remember all of what I have that I like.

I am pretty old school - I just write every recipe I like out on a 4x6 lined notecard and keep them alphabetically filed in a little box in the kitchen. I sometimes photocopy out of cookbooks or print off the internet, but if I make the recipe once from that and like it, I'll copy it onto a card and put it in the file instead.

This is exactly what I do too, except I use 3x5 cards in order to fit my battered, elderly, much-loved recipe boxes.
