This is an inexpensive way to bind all of your favorite Just a Pinch Recipes together for little or nothing. I went to Office Depot and had 355 pages bound together for less than $5.00. I got a clear front cover, and a solid back cover. I organized my recipes into categories, then listed each recipe in each category in alphabetical order. I divided my recipes into 13 categories. After I had them bound together with the laminated coil binding, I TABBED EACH CATEGORY for easier refrencing as you can see from the side view. Now I can get to all of my favorite recipes very quickly.

How To Make coiled bound favorite recipes

  • One of the categories in my book. Notice that the book lies flat when opened. You can even fold in half. See how thick the coil binding is. This should give you an idea of what you can do with YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES, & how you can bind them together.

    Take all of those saved copies of your recipes, and those that you have saved of your friends & favorite cooks, and create a personal spiral bound cookbook. We all have saved recipes, and this is an inexpensive way to have them bound together and in order, and it is much better than the 3 ring binders.

  • This is the 3rd book of my favorite recipes from JAP that I have had bound together in a wire bound plastic coated spiral binding @ Office Depot under $5.00. It keeps your recipes organized, & if you do it by category it is much easier to find when needed

    Now take them to Office Depot, and have them all bound together. I have made 3 books and they all have been created for under five dollars EACH. It will make it so much easier to find that special recipe. After they have been bound then tab each category with a personal tab, and you can reach your recipes much faster.
