I know there are several people here who get magazines like Cooking Light, Eating Well, etc. - I get those two (and more), and I have no idea how to store them! I want to keep them around so I can refer to the recipes, but I can't figure out the best way to keep them neat, organized and in a way that I can find the recipes.

I thought about putting them in a binder, but they are too thick to use with a 3-hole punch. Any ideas?

At least with Cooking Light I can toss them at the end of the year when I get the Annual Recipes cookbook! :)

I put the recipes I think I'll use into The Living Cookbook (http://www.livingcookbook.com/), and toss the rest of the magazine. It does take some time to enter the recipes, but I love that I get nutritional information out of Living Cookbook (sometimes I enter a recipe and then see the nutritional breakdown and think - never mind - won't be using that one!), and I like the 'easy index.' I used to put them on bookshelves, but I could never remember which recipe came from where. Using the software, I can easily find what I'm looking for.

For the articles about cooking or baking techniques, I tear those out and put them in a 3-ring binder.
