Creating a Holiday CreateMyCookbook

Holiday Cookie Gift Giving & CreateMyCookbook

November 4, 2020 · In: Lifestyle, Gift Giving

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

I do believe now is the perfect time to start thinking about the holidays, don’t you? There is just something about planning and prepping for Christmas that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I can promise you it isn’t the Louisiana temperatures. One of the best parts of Christmas is the gift giving, and this year I plan on holiday cookie gift giving with CreateMyCookbook.

Creating a Holiday CreateMyCookbook

Holiday cookie gift giving is more than just delicious

Baking is one of my favorite things to do. I literally could bake all the time if I had the extra hours in the day. I love to experiment with recipes as well as bake my usual family favorite recipes. Gifting baked goods brings together two of my favorite things: gift giving and baking. I know this year will be very different when it comes to gifting baked goods, but that is alright. I have an alternative idea for just that!

Maybe you aren’t one to enjoy baking or maybe baking doesn’t enjoy you? All jokes aside, you all know what I am talking about. If baking just isn’t your thing, you can still gift the holiday cookie concept without the actual baking component.

Creating a holiday cookie or baked goods cookbook

One idea that I absolutely love is the idea of gifting a cookbook. With CreateMyCookbook, you can easily create a personalized cookbook for a friend or loved one. The recipes included in the cookbook can be your very own favorites or maybe your favorite Pinterest finds. Gather up all those cookie and baked good recipes for your very own CreateMyCookbook creation. You can even add photos of the baked goods or special family photos.

CreateMyCookbook is one of the best ways to gift a personalized cookbook.

CreateMyCookbook this holiday season

If you all have been following me for a while now, then you know that I am a huge fan of CreateMyCookbook. I not only have some of my very own in my kitchen, but have also gifted them to family and friends. I love the ability to personalize them with my very own food photos as well as photos of the kids. No better way to gift this holiday season than with a cookbook filled with special recipes and photos.

Are you wondering how easy it is to use CreateMyCookbook? The hardest part of creating your cookbook is deciding on which recipes you want to include!

How to use CreateMyCookbook

Creating your CreateMyCookbook really is simple. All you need to do is create your account on CreateMyCookbook. From there, you decide on the design. Then start filling up your recipe box. Type recipes yourself, invite friends and family to contribute, or use their typing service WeTypeIt. Lastly, you can add any photos or use CreateMyCookbook stock photos. The options are truly endless with the ability to personalize your cookbook.

Gifting cookies is not an issue when it comes to CreateMyCookbook

Don’t let all that is going on this year or maybe your lack of baking skills keep you from holiday cookie gift giving this year. Let CreateMyCookbook put a spin on that concept and give a personalized gift to those you love.

Hugs!

What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_ What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_cast_iron , LSU Football, and 1st tailgate of the season? You make a great recipe perfect for tailgating of course! This Handmade Carbon Steel Skillet from Appalachian Cast Iron is not only much easier to cook with compared to cast iron, each skillet is truly unique! The hammered texture is unique for each skillet, but the handle is even hand made and practical. With the precision grind of the cook surface, there is enough β€œtooth” for the seasoning to adhere - no worries of that seasoning flaking off like some carbon steel skillets. Also, you can personalize the bottom of the skillet!

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
-1/2 white onion, diced
-1 red bell pepper, sliced
-1 1/2 cups sliced bella mushrooms 
-1 tbsp minced garlic
-1 lb shaved beef steak 
-~2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-5-6 slices of provolone 
-salt/ pepper to taste
-Hawaiian Rolls

Add onion, red bell pepper, garlic to hot skillet and cook until tender, add mushrooms, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and salt/pepper and cook down until mushrooms darken and are more tender. Add water as needed; remove from skillet and add seasoned shave beef to a hot pan. Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and cook until meat is no longer pink. Add veggie mix back to pan and top with provolone. Allow to cook until cheese is melted. Serve on sliced Hawaiian Rolls!
