Holiday Gift that Keeps on Giving: CreateMyCookbook

December 7, 2018 · In: Gift Giving, Lifestyle

This post is sponsored by CreateMyCookbook; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

The season of gift giving is officially upon us with Christmas literally just around the corner. I love this time of year for many reasons and having a reason to buy others gifts is one of my favorites. Carefully contemplating each gift and not buying just to buy. Thoughtful gifts are the best gifts in my opinion! CreateMyCookbook is one of those gifts that should be on everyone’s gift list.

What is CreateMyCookbook?

CreateMyCookbook is exactly just that, creating and designing your very own cookbook. You don’t have to be a cook or someone who is in the kitchen daily to make use of CreateMyCookbook because it is designed as a way to keep all those recipes that you enjoy most all in one place.

I do love to be in the kitchen, but that is not the sole reason I chose to create my own cookbook. Recipe after recipe that has been given to me by family were all being stashed away in between or within other cookbooks. Not the best place to have that most delicious sweet potato casserole recipe from your grandmother! Then enters in CreateMyCookbook.

They take all those recipes and help you organize them in one place, digitally as well as by paper. If you have not checked out my other post on CreateMyCookbook, you can do so here! Keeping Those Family Recipes with CreateMyCookbook tells you all about CreateMyCookbook, including the process of creating your very own cookbook!

Gifting CreateMyCookbook.

Now that you know a little about CreateMyCookbook, you have some insight on how it can be viewed as a thoughtful gift. Every cookbook is created by you with either you, family, or a friend in mind. Every recipe that is being added to the cookbook is one that you have chosen. This makes it the perfect gift having it designed just for that individual!

The gift that keeps on giving.

As I mentioned above, these recipes are also saved digitally. This makes it great for easy access at any time! You can add more recipes and switch them out at any time. You love the cookbook so much that you want to give it to someone else? Just order another copy! It is that easy!

And since we are talking about gift giving, I have a little something special for one of you: a $80 gift certificate for CreateMyCookbook. 

Enter in here to win! $80 CreateMyCookbook Gift Certificate Giveaway . Check out more at https://createmycookbook.com/ !

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Anyone else struggling with those hot nights 🔥🥴?! Those of you who know, y’all know.. and it can be miserable! I have found a way to help cool things off during my slumber, and that’s with @mybearaby bamboo sheets SET AND their duvet cover. They are all made from breathable bamboo fabric, giving way to naturally antibiotic bedding that is smooth and soft. 

The Bearaby Bamboo Sheets and Duvet Cover help reduce heat buildup overnight, are moisture-wicking (great for hot sleepers), and they feel cool when you get into bed. The perfect combination for a good night sleep 😴

Making Monday a little easier with this simple and Making Monday a little easier with this simple and oh so good recipe, Dirty Spaghetti! If you love dirty rice, then you need to give this Dirty Spaghetti a try - @kettleandfire brings that flavor!

Kettle & Fire Bone Beef Broth (16.9oz)
1 lb ground meat
1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean’s pork sausage roll)
1 bunch Green onions
1 container of Savoie’s dressing mix
~1 1/2c Season Blend (chopped onion / bell pepper)
3oz tomato paste
3 tbsp minced garlic 
1 can of cream of golden mushroom soup
2 tbsp flour 
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion powder 
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 box of cooked spaghetti noodles 

Basically brown sausage and ground meat in a large pot along with the dressing mix. Allowing it to also cook off excess liquid. Add in your season blend and seasonings next, followed by tomato paste, minced garlic, and golden mushroom soup, and soup can filled with bone beef broth. Stir and add in Worcestershire sauce. Allow to cook for a few minutes, then add rest of bone beef broth and green onions. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, then add flour and stir. Cook for another 5-10minutes, allowing it to thicken some before adding in cooked spaghetti!

Thank you to @hymelskajunkitchen for this dinner idea 🫶🏻
One of my favorite things to do is work in the yar One of my favorite things to do is work in the yard ☀️🌱 While I am doing all the things outside, I make sure I have my @solbari hat! It is a must-have, especially when it comes to UPF. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.

This measures how effectively a fabric blocks UV radiation from reaching the skin. All of Solbari products are tested and rated for UPF 50+ Blocks UVA and UVB rays. This is a big deal! My easiest hack for protecting my face/scalp from skin cancer and speeding up those signs of aging. #solbari

#ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s #ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s right around the corner, and why not hear from a mother herself on some great gift ideas? 💁🏻‍♀️

@everskincare is basically “Facelift in a bottle”. Ok, SOLD! The formula is clean, and it’s formulated with LSR10, aka aging’s worst enemy, clinically proven to reduce the top 10 signs of aging. 
@trilastinskincare is a nourishing body oil that soothes dry skin, smooths skin texture, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Not to mention that it’s all-natural, hypoallergenic, non-greasy and a pregnancy-safe formula!
@blissybrand is the best kept secret that all mothers want to know about! Their signature Blissy Silk Pillowcase is crafted from 100% mulberry silk. Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t tug on your skin or absorb moisture. This helps minimize wrinkles, retain hydration, and support a clearer, more youthful complexion. Plus, it helps you wake up with smoother, frizz-free hair!
@jennybarkertheflowerdoctor ‘s book, Flower Energy: Channeling the Healing Power of Blooms, not only teaches you to interpret and channel the messages of each unique flower it holds, but the beautiful photos within are inspiring. A book that brings power and beauty to flowers and your coffee table !
@fieldsgreat knows how busy moms can be, and their Plant-Based Protein Blend contains 30g protein PLUS 5g fiber and 0g sugar in one simple shake. That’s what I am talking about! Supporting strength, digestion, and a steady energy - especially for those over 40.

Take it from this mom, these all make for great Mother’s Day gift ideas!
