I made an email file for them.

Hmm, that's a thought.🤔

I usually just share them here. and then use GardenWeb's anemic search capabilities to try to find the again. :-)

I just store mine in my hard drive in documents as a text file. Is there a reason why it would be good to have them on line?

The reason I'd prefer to have them online, is because sometimes I'm cooking at home, sometimes I'm cooking on the boat, or possibly somewhere else. I might not have access to a hard drive, and really don't want to try to keep them on paper.

If I see a recipe — or any other article I want to keep for posterity — online, convert it to a .pdf file and save it in iBooks in iCloud and/or Google Drive.

I use Dropbox for files that I want to use in more than one location. I have recipes there and also photos that I want to access when I am in Cathedral City and using my laptop. Since I want to access files on four devices, I went to the paid version, which is $100 a year and gives me a terabyte of storage. If you only want to use it for three devices, it is free, but the amount of storage is considerably less, but still enough certainly for recipe files.

My brother uses Google Drive, and we share files there as well.

I don't cook regular, every day stuff from recipes, but I do use Pinterest quite a bit, and I have added some there and others I save there in a board on my Pinterest page entitled "Favorites".

Mine are all in a documents file where I can have sub files of holidays etc. This way I can always get at them too--internet outage or not.

Several good ideas to explore.. thanks!

And ha, yeah to the Internet outage. Many years ago on some holiday, our internet was down. I ended up driving to my office (just 10 minutes) to print my recipes. Now with smart phones, both Spectrum and Verizon would have to be down before we'd starve. 🤪

I email them to myself and also print some that I use the most often and put them in a 3 ring binder. I don't use regular cookbooks often although we have dozens.

I always print off as LoneJack does and place in 3 ring binder. I only keep those I wish to do again. Some I just save in my favorites on the pc.

OneDrive and iBooks

I use the bookmark feature of my browser. I can create as many labeled folders as I like and store whatever I want, including recipes.

I don't much worry about if the power goes off.....if that's the case, not all that much cooking is getting done anyway!! I have a dedicated generator but it does not power the range (takes too much juice) so "cooking" during a power outage is limited to my microwave and/or toaster.

Yes, I print the ones I really like and make notes on the copy. I put them in a plastic sleeve and in a binder with dividers. I have lost too many things on line. I do not make as many or as complicated things at our camper, so those I do use there are duplicated and kept in the camper.

I purchased 2 external hard drives. I got one eight terabyte and one 10 TB size. I put everything I want on to that including recipes and movies I have purchased and downloaded onto it. It's an investment but with my smart TV I don't even need an interface of a computer. I just plug it in either to the smart TV or a laptop/PC and away I go.

I can see how having your recipes online is a must if you do a lot of cooking away from home. I don't so what I do is I created a re-usable recipe template and I fill it out for each recipe and then save and file it into my cookbook that I created a few years back in my documents. I've printed them out as gifts for close members of the family. Most of the recipes I don't need to look at to cook except for the baking and things like pickling.

I use to save them in a email folder, but I quit doing that, because I found out I would print them out anyway. It is easier to put in a binder in clear sheet protectors and just pull out the recipe I want . I can stick the recipe anywhere close to the work surface I am using. Plus it is easier to change the recipe with just a pen for me.

I keep mine in Google Documents. Easy to search.

.

I print and put in a 3 ring binder. I also have a favorites category on Pinterest.

Mine are mostly cut and pasted to Word and kept in a document file. I had some things in Dropbox but have somehow quit using it - I'm about due for all new electronics and may not reinstall the drop box. Now that DH has retired, I don't have the big files there like I used to.

Not that I don't sometimes print them and tuck into different cookbooks and physical folders in my kitchen ;0)

I copy and paste recipes into Word documents and save them to an external portable drive. I have different folders set up: My Favorite Recipes, Holidays, Recipes to Try, etc., and within each of those folders categories set up. Categories such as Meat with subolders of Pork, Beef, Veal, Lamb; a category of Poultry with subfolders for Chicken, Duck, Cornish Hens, Duck, Turkey; and on and on. To me, this method makes it very easy to find a specific recipe I am looking for or to browse the recipes for an idea of something to cook.
