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!

#ad Not only are we working on this new school day #ad Not only are we working on this new school day routine, but we are also trying to get a grasp on our nighttime and sleeping routine as well. My kids are so used to going to bed a little later and walking up later during the summer. We all know how that changes during the school year! Sleep is so important, and this is why I am thankful to have Vicks PURE Zzzs Kidz Melatonin Gummies! These gummies from @zzzquil are perfect for adjusting to a back-to-school sleep routine. They’re non-habit forming, use a low dose of melatonin and are also free of gluten, lactose, and gelatin! These gummies are a must try! Please be sure to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any other underlying conditions before giving melatonin gummies to your child. Here’s to an easy school year and an even easier nighttime and sleeping routine!
