Recipe Book {My first mini project}

I'm always cutting out recipes from mazagines and shoving them in a kitchen drawer.  I needed to organize my favorite recipes as well as new recipes I want to try.  I got this cute idea for creating your own recipe book from The Crafting Chicks.

 
I bought everything I needed at Target for about $10: a cute 3-ring binder, clear sheet protectors & dividers.  Then, I printed some of thse adorable menu/shopping lists from A Feathered Nest.
I put these in the front of the binder along with a clear sheet protector to keep any receipes I'm trying out that week.
 
I divided my recipe book into 5 sections:
  • Appetizers
  • Soups & Salads
  • Main Courses
  • Side Dishes
  • Desserts
Then I finally started organizing... I put away the recipes I had laying around and went through all my Food Network and Everyday with Rachel Ray Magazines and clipped new recipes I want to try.

I feel pretty good having completed my first little project!  Now, which recipe should I try first?  =)
