Tackle it Tuesday - Recipes and the fridge

After I commented over on Laura’s post, I realised that I hadn’t sorted through my recipe file box and my household organising file for probably a year.

I am usually very good about throwing away paper so there's not very much to start with but it was still irritating me so I had to get stuck in.

I also stick recipes up so I'll have them handy to try out. Like this...

Above the recipe box, I used to keep my menu plans and other stuff because my fridge was so full.

This is my recipe "box" that I keep next to the microwave. A limited space forces me to declutter if things get out of hand.

And then here's my fridge, with a million and one fridge magnets, old photos, lists of this and that (like the 10 best feel-good songs ever, courtesy of my husband LOL), generally, a mess.

Here is all the paper I decluttered from the mug section, fridge, recipe books and side cupboard.

And this is what I did with all the loose recipes - I stuck them on an A4 page before putting them in a flipfile.
