Tips I Use That Help Me

I saw this on a tv show and decided to try it and it helps me a lot.

Take a wired hanger and using a clothespin, pin the recipe you are going to make to the wired hanger. It will keep the recipe from getting all messy on the counter. I hang the hanger on the kitchen cupboard knob right where I am cooking. If you have room in your kitchen, you could also just pin the recipe on a bulletin board. I have a filing cabinet to keep my recipes in and I have them categorized. Recipes I use a lot, I keep in the kitchen cupboard right above the counter so all I have to do is grab it and clothespin it on the hanger.

I also use a wired hanger and a clothespin to hang up a grocery list. There are times when I am cooking and see that I am almost out of the stuff that I use to make it so I get a piece of paper and write it down and hang it on the hanger. That way when you get home from the grocery store, you won't be saying to yourself-"I forgot to buy this!"

I also use a hanger to clip coupons by my grocery list. That way everything is right together.

I keep coupons in a folder for restaurants and fast food places also.

 
I have all my recipes in slip covers in three-ring binders. I have a wire display thing (like you'd use for a plate, I guess?) that I prop the binder in. I have several recipe books:

My personal book with recipes from family, friends, local chefs & from around the web.

Recipes from several TV shows, including:

Tyler's Ultimate (Tyler Florence)

Tyler Florence's website

Anthony Bourdain's website

Everyday Italian (Giada de Laurentis)

Extra Virgin (Debi Mazaar & husband)

Boy Meets Grill (Bobby Flay)

BBQ With Bobby Flay

Jamie Oliver's Top 100

Jamie Oliver's website

Nigella Feasts (Nigella Lawson)

I have a few more things I've printed out with some tips & tricks, general stuff for the grill, etc.

 
I haven't watched much in the past few years. I have SO MANY recipes it'd take me a lifetime to get through them. I used to watch Tyler's Ultimate all the time but since he went off the air I haven't really paid much attention.
