Our friend Kelli Taylor shared this chartreuse/chocolate Kolo Trivino recipe binder of hers. She’s putting another one together for her mom as a Mother’s Day gift, pairing it with the mango/red “Take-Out Trivino” that appeared in the previous post.

I like the cloth covers on the Kolo Trivino binders, but I don’t want them to get splattered in the kitchen, so while I’m using a recipe, I just remove the entire page from the binder, and replace it when I’m done.

My family and friends are into sharing recipes. My favorite recipe site is epicurious.com, and I had a bunch of their recipes bookmarked. So I finally printed those and made extra copies on triple-hole punched paper. I keep the duplicates behind the original print-outs as extras to give away.

You could just load the pages directly into the binder, but I like these top-loading Trivino refill sheets because they protect the print-outs from getting wet or stained.

Oh yeah, like my Take-Out Trivino’s, this binder also has an envelope at the back -- purgatory for loose recipe cards I tend to collect. They can hang out there ‘til I manage to get them into 4”x6” photo sleeve pages.

(Happy Mother's Day)
