Reciope Saving

Recipe Saving Made Easy This Holiday

November 13, 2019 · In: Momlife, Lifestyle

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

Having ‘that’ recipe to go-to when time is limited is a must for me, especially during the holiday! You know what I am talking about. Those recipes that you know are successful, easy, and will make leftovers if needed. Sometimes these recipes are from other cookbooks or Pinterest, maybe even a recipe you created! Either way, these recipes are good to have on hand. With CreateMyCookbook, you will be recipe saving in no time.

Reciope Saving

Recipe saving made easy.

Recipe saving has been something I have been doing for a while. As a mom of 3, this is a must! When I find that recipe that the entire family enjoys, I note it. So when the weeks are chaotic, I can pull out that one recipe to make my life not only easy, buy enjoyable for all during dinner. This use to be done by saving pins on Pinterest, trying to make mental notes, and even writing them down on index cards. The time it took me to search back through my pins, finding that index card, and trying to remember how I cooked a specific dish was insane. Why? Three kids and a busy weekly schedule had me all over the place. CreateMyCookbook is saving me time and sanity!

Reciope Saving

Within less than 1 hour, I can have all my family-approved recipes documented in one place: my very own cookbook! Haven’t heard of CreateMyCookbook before? Let me tell you all about it.

How to use CreateMyCookbook.

Creating your very own cookbook has never been this easy. CreateMyCookbook can take any recipe and place them in one cookbook for you. These recipes can be family recipes or recipes you have found elsewhere that are tried and true. You don’t have to be a chef to create your CreateMyCookbook cookbook. Here’s why you should be recipe saving with CreateMyCookbook!

Reciope Saving

Setting up that account.

Firstly, you will need to go onto CreateMyCookbook‘s website to setup an account. This will keep all those recipes you cherish in one place as well as help you keep all your cookbook orders, etc. organized. I love that you can come back later and order more copies.

Reciope Saving

Get to creating.

Once you have your account setup, you can get to creating your cookbook! You can personalize this cookbook however you want, picking the theme as well as whatever photographs you want in it. This is YOUR cookbook and CreateMyCookbook is here for it! Another great aspect of having an account is that you can share it with your friends or family. Maybe a family friend has a recipe that you love? Have them log into your account and add the recipe to the recipe box.

Reciope Saving

Feel like you are short on time when it comes to typing in all those recipes? Well, CreateMyCookbook can take care of that part too! With WeTypeIt, you can upload photographs of your favorite recipes. Then the CreateMyCookbook staff will type your recipes into your recipe box for you. Within a few hours, you will have all those family favorites ready to be added to your cookbook. It is literally just that easy!

Holiday gifting with CreateMyCookbook.

I can seriously go on and on about my love for CreateMyCookbook. It has made my life so much easier now that I have all my family favorite recipes in one place, and one that I created myself. Creating a cookbook has never by this easy! It even makes for the perfect holiday gift as well! I plan to share all my family recipes with my family members. Fill that cookbook with pictures of all the kids and family, add those amazing recipes, and VIOLA! Check it out for yourself: you will be a cookbook editor in no time.

Happy holidays!

    I love this idea of sorting out recipes. Honestly, I love Pinterest, too, but it does get a bit overwhelming. I miss the physical cookbooks.

Did someone say Dubai Chocolate Brownies? Yes inde Did someone say Dubai Chocolate Brownies? Yes indeed! These are not only crave worthy and simple, they beat that price! One of the key ingredients: @kelloggsus Frosted Mini Wheats.

1 box of brownie mix
1 - 1 1/2 cups Frosted Mini Wheats
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup Tahini
8oz jar Pistachio Cream / Butter
1 - 11oz bag of semisweet or milk chocolate morsels 
1 tbsp coconut oil 

Bake brownie mix according to box, making sure to line pan with parchment paper. Melt 3 tbsp butter in a saucepan and add the Frosted Mini Wheats. Stir and crush up Frosted Mini Wheats with spoon. Cook on low-medium for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.

Add the tahini and pistachio cream to the Frosted Mini Wheats mixture. Once brownies have completely cooled, add the Frosted Mini Wheats mixture to the top of the brownies, reserving a little in a ziploc bag for decorative topping later.

Melt the chocolate morsels and coconut oil in increments, making sure to stir to prevent burning. Once completely melted, pour on top of the Frosted Mini Wheats/Pistachio mixture. Then add the decorative touch with the left over mixture before placing it in the fridge to set. It will take about an hour to fully set!

Happy Halloween! 👻🖤🧡 A little tutorial to Happy Halloween! 👻🖤🧡 A little tutorial to Chloe’s costume! She picked out this design, and let’s say I was shocked haha! Thanks to @justinflom for this super fun and EASY idea! Sped up the video so IG would approve 😂

Decided TODAY to add the grocery bag to the pants to make it easier… Halloween treat bag and costume in one! Plus added 2 hooks to connect with the hoodie as well as stretchy nylon string to help carry the weight of the 1/2 body when she didn’t want to hold onto it. Save this one for next year! 

Hope you all had a wonderful Friday!

#ad Hosting a game day party is easier than you th #ad Hosting a game day party is easier than you think, especially when you have the perfect products! @solocup is one of those brands that I  know will bring both quality and durability when it comes to serving up drinks and food. Check out how easy this game day table spread was to set up! It literally took me under 30 minutes to set all of this up. Having SOLO Cups, aka the BEST party cup, I know my guests will be able to hold them with ease while walking around due to SOLO Cups’ built in grip. Plus, their unique square base makes them extra stable! Y’all, head over to Target and grab those SOLO Cups, host that game day party, and cheer on your favorite team! Let’s geaux! 💚🏈
