It’s a project I wish I’d tackled much sooner! So, it was time to organize them and it only took about two hours. Mine were shoved into a shoebox, ensuring that not only would I not use them, but it was impossible to put my hands on anything quickly.

Those that are pulled out of magazines, handwritten by grandmothers, or photocopied from cookbooks are still precious and useful. Of course, not all recipes are on Pinterest. Here are links to those boards for an idea of what’s in each: Since I have so many, I have five Pinterest boards which hold all my online recipes– making them easy to find. Most recipes can be found digitally nowadays so I mostly organize mine on Pinterest. Now let’s dive into the decluttering! As mentioned previously, I kept only a few much-loved cookbooks. Since recipes crosses both the book (cookbook) category as well as the paper category, I thought it would be a good one to tackle today (particularly with the holiday cooking and baking season coming!) Plus, it’s been awhile since we shared a free printable and I hate to leave you hanging so I created three choices of recipe binder covers for you to choose from (keep scrolling for the link to download them.)

After I shared about how to declutter books the KonMari way, the emails started flooding in begging for help in one particular area– RECIPES. As a former librarian and book lover, I totally get it. One lament I hear all the time when it comes to decluttering is just how difficult it is to discard books.
