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.

When I want a recipe I look it up on the internet, often carrying my laptop into the kitchen to see while I'm cooking. This isn't very efficient to say the least! My kitchen is the size of a closet and counter space is at a premium. Not to mention the danger of getting batter all over ALF's keyboard!

Thing is, I seldom use recipes. I was taught to cook by "feel" -- which drives Allen crazy, lemme tell you! Pinch, handful, finger-length, dollop, dash and drizzle aren't his idea of measurements. But it works for me and nobody, incarnate or otherwise, complains about my cooking.

I'm going to dig out a three-ring binder to keep my favorite recipes, as well as kitchen/household charms and spells.

Yup! The big problem I have is when I get a request to duplicate something - depending upon the time that has passed I can have a very difficult time remembering exactly what went in when and how much of it did...

But nobody complains.
