Recipes Filofax

Hi everyone!

As I wrote in this post, I finally found a use for the Teal Pocket Filofax that Vanja gifted to me!  I now use it as my Recipes Filofax.

I rubbed on some brown lettering on the front page to identify it as such.














Then I made labeled dividers for each food category.  I didn't realize I'd need 12, but I did.

Numbered 1-6 tabs labeled with a label printer.


In this picture:


Appetizers
Salad
Soup
Pasta
Vegetables
Chicken







Followed by:


Pork
Beef
Seafood, and
Dessert
New (for newly-tried recipes)
Notes (for Notes, LOL)






Each category would just have a list of dishes that are staples to our menu.  I'll choose from this pre-set list each week.




Any new recipes I'd write down on a blank piece of paper and file it under the appropriate category.  I usually just google new recipes I want to try.

New chicken dishes

A quick and easy microwave-able dessert

And I have blank sheets at the back for note-taking, with a pagemarker for each section.

Where new recipes get written


I'll probably need some Post-Its here for a shopping list

And that's what I've done for my Recipes Filofax. I love that I now have another use for one of my Filofaxes!

Thanks for visiting!

  1. Love the idea of a recipe Filofax and I am interested to know the method of the microwave Nutella Mug Cake - can you give any more detail? Thanks

    1. Hi! It's as simple as mIxing the ingredients, pouring into containers, and popping in the microwave for 3 mins. One recipe makes 16 oz. I've used regular 8 oz. coffee mugs but ramekins are better.

      I'd be happy to email you the ingredients if you can't read it off here.

      Regards.

    1. Hi again, and thanks for reading! Just wanted to add that this recipe was my daughter's -- she tried it out, and worked out the proportions until it was perfect for us. She's the foodie in the family and so much better in the kitchen than I will ever be. Giving credit where credit is due. (:
