How to Keep Those Family Favorite Recipes

December 2, 2019 · In: Gift Giving, Lifestyle

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

The holidays bring so much to the table: Memory-making, family gatherings, and the need for all those family favorite recipes. Keeping everything organized is a must this time of year, and CreateMyCookbook is here to help keep those family favorite recipes all in one spot!

Family Favorite Recipes

Family favorite recipes.

You don’t have to be a cook to have a stack of family favorite recipes. I have so many from not only myself, but from other family, friends, and Pinterest. When I am in a bind, I always pull these recipes out because I know they will be a dinner win. There is no time to stress over meal time during the busy school year. This is even more true during the holidays!

I love to pull out my tried and true family recipes during the holidays. Why try out a new recipe during this special time of year when I have those that I know are a crowd-pleaser?

How to keep those favorites at hands reach.

Like many others, I have always kept my recipes in a small recipe box on random note cards. Searching through them to find that one specific recipe is never any fun. What about Pinterest? I love having Pinterest when I am looking for a new recipe idea, etc. I don’t like having to go back to Pinterest right before dinner time to find it though. Frantically running around while trying to get the internet connected to find that pinned recipe is not how I like to plan my dinner time.

Family Favorite Recipes

So, how exactly am I keeping my family favorite recipes? CreateMyCookbook is the perfect way to keep all those recipes neatly organized and at hands reach. Did you know that CreateMyCookbook is a cookbook that you actually create yourself?

Family Favorite Recipes

CreateMyCookbook is easier than you think.

CreateMyCookbook is one of the easiest ways to store those recipes, and such a fun way to do it as well! You know those picture books we have all either created or seen before? Well CreateMyCookbook is very similar to that idea. You pick and choose all those recipes you want in the cookbook much like those photos you want to be uploaded in your photobook. You create your cookbook exactly how you want it: photos, text, etc.

Less stress and more time with the family.

The holidays is meant to be spent with family and friends, not stressing out. CreateMyCookbook is here to not only make your life easier when it comes to keeping those family favorite recipes all in one spot, but also a great gift idea! Gifting a cookbook full of those family recipes is so special, especially when you add photographs to go along with them.

Wishing you all a very happy holiday!

You know what I get excited about? When it’s tim You know what I get excited about? When it’s time to do my @qureskincare ‘s Micro-Infusion Facial System! Microneedling at home, making my skin feel soo good ✨

So what’s the big deal? 

🌟 24K gold plated 0.5mm microneedles are at the end of the serum applicator that penetrate beyond the skin’s surface to gently create controlled trauma in your skin which help boost the feel of firmness, smooth texture and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles along with the benefits of the serum. Super easy to use, and my skin always looks refreshed within 24 hours! 

You can get the dark spot serum or the one intended for wrinkles (I am grabbing this one SOON)!

Head over to Qure to check it out! Believe me, this is one of my top skincare items that I can’t live without 🫶🏻
