Make your recipe box look better than ever with our free printable recipe card template! An organized way to save your family’s favorite recipes!
If you love these recipe cards, be sure to check out a few more of our organization printables – Cleaning Cards, Printable Budget Planner, and Home Management Binder Printables.
The Type A person in me decided I needed the organize all my recipe cards and make them match! Because planning our weekly menu is not my favorite thing to do, but maybe flipping through some pretty cards will make this task more enjoyable? (The verdict on that is still out, but I do enjoy looking at my recipe box now – that’s gotta count for something, right?)
I think these cards would be so cute to give as a gift to your family and friends. Compile all the recipes you have from your great-grandma and give them to your sister’s for mother’s day. Or make a jar of your favorite salsa, then give it to your neighbor with a recipe card attached. Food is my love language, so I’d be totally happy with either of those ideas!
I designed these cards to be super simple – just the way I like it! They are color-coded based on the dish/recipe you are writing out, but I’ve also included some blank ones. That way you can use alllll pink for “Grandma’s Classics” or alllllll blue for “Baby Shower Favorites.” Label them however you’d like!

Hi,
I really liked your blog. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

What a great idea and an ambitious project. One year I made recipe books with all our favorite recipes to give to our family members. They went over really well.
Those photo albums you make on line at "Photobook" and places like that are cool too. You can put all your photos and recipes in there and it will come back to you nicely printed and bound. Just a thought, there is something nice about searching through a recipe box too! Have fun!
I love this – I actually did this last year with my Creative Memories Program and put pictures of my Grandmother, great Grandmother, or whomever I got the recipe from. I then had them printed at Walgreens in multiples and put them in a coffee table flip album for everyone for gifts! I put the picture off to the side for the most part or made them opaque so that the actual recipe was readable.
That will be a big job, but so cool! You could give those as wedding gifts…or just because you love your fellow blogger gift….hint hint. They really look great.
Thanks for this idea! I need so much help with cooking and I am such visual learner so this should help me! I love your blog!
I love it!
Love this idea!
It's like you channel my thoughts sometimes, Steph! I was just yesterday scouring the web for ideas about how to give holiday gifts of favorite recipes (hoping to download a freeware recipe program that prints all my recipes nicely in the same format).
What a great idea! I love this. Yes, it will be time consuming, but think of what you could do with them!! a handful of these with some fun kitchen towels and maybe cooking stuff as a wedding/shower present. Even just a gift with a towel for a birthdya present for a friend. The ideas are endless. You are seriously so awesome Steph!!
OMG! What a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing that. It would also make a wonderful gift!!!
That is awesome. I have been wanting to do this and make a Christmas recipe file for my kids, but wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks for sharing. Your blog is great, thanks for sharing with us!
