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.

Since these days receipies come to me via emails from friends and family or from websites, I've found a 3 ring binder works really well. You can organize any number of ways, and you can stick a few sheets of clear heavy plastic in the front for a splatter shield when you have the book open on the counter or table.

Of course, I have 2 or 3 'bible' type cookbooks that I find myself going back to again and again for both full receipies and variation ideas or other info [like wine pairings] and the old fashioned card box as well. SOMEDAY I want to get the cards I actually used transcribed to the 3 ring binder...hmmm...maybe if I'm snowed in again Wednesday...
