Recipe for Organizing Recipes

Having trouble keeping track of all the great recipes you've found online? I've got a manila folder filled with dog-eared printouts from Epicurious. I'm in need of a better system.

Good thing I found a helpful tip today from Elise Bauer, publisher of the food blog, Simply Recipes—a wonderful blog filled with family recipes and the stories behind them. (Thanks Lifehacker!)

Like my manila folder, favorites folders stuffed with recipes on your PC can get just as overfilled and hard to maneuver. Elise suggests a solution: Using the social bookmarking site, del.icio.us, to organize favorite recipes found across the Web. She writes:

I recently started using del.icio.us to keep track of promising links form other sites, as well as indexing almost all of the recipes on Simply Recipes. My "virtual cookbook" (http://del.icio.us/elisebauer/recipes) has over 300 recipes and new ones are a breeze to add.

She walks us through, step-by-step, how easy this is to do in this blog post. I'm up for trying it. And at the end of one of these blogging days, I'm definitely going to try her family enchilada recipe (pictured above). Yum.
