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!

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!
