Yeah, that’s what I said!
Please tell me I am not the only messy cook out there… If you were to look at my first cookbook, a 3-ring binder version of Better Homes and Gardens similar to this one, you would be able to tell my favorite recipes just by flipping through the pages. I have pages that stick together, pages with dried…something…on them, and holes where words used to be when I tried scraping off that something from the page. Check it out…
That flour has been there for about 12 years…
I am not even sure what this is…
See what I mean? Embarrassing!
If you can relate (oh, I hope I am not alone!) you’ll love the idea I am about to share with you. This is the method I use to keep all our school binders clean so I can pass them down from one kid to the next, and even let friends borrow them, and keep them in great shape.
3-ring binders with page protectors!
I probably own more 3-ring binders than amazon. I know I have more page protectors than they do. You just have to trust me!
Here are some photos of my cookbooks in use:
Kim Wilson’s Good and Easy Eats.
Katie Kimball’s Healthy Snacks to Go.
As you can see, you can easily wipe off any spills - even grease, and keep those pages lookin’ good!

How do you keep your cookbooks free from goop?

A goopy cookbook is a well-loved cookbook, LOL (I use sheet protectors for a lot of our binders, though, too!).
Very clever goop voiding tactics here! I must get myself a laminator!
I do this too, in fact I have a couple of notebooks. I love it because it can keep the photo with it.
I laminate mine or (like you) keep them in sheet protectors.
