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.

Anyone else struggling with those hot nights 🔥🥴?! Those of you who know, y’all know.. and it can be miserable! I have found a way to help cool things off during my slumber, and that’s with @mybearaby bamboo sheets SET AND their duvet cover. They are all made from breathable bamboo fabric, giving way to naturally antibiotic bedding that is smooth and soft. 

The Bearaby Bamboo Sheets and Duvet Cover help reduce heat buildup overnight, are moisture-wicking (great for hot sleepers), and they feel cool when you get into bed. The perfect combination for a good night sleep 😴

Making Monday a little easier with this simple and Making Monday a little easier with this simple and oh so good recipe, Dirty Spaghetti! If you love dirty rice, then you need to give this Dirty Spaghetti a try - @kettleandfire brings that flavor!

Kettle & Fire Bone Beef Broth (16.9oz)
1 lb ground meat
1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean’s pork sausage roll)
1 bunch Green onions
1 container of Savoie’s dressing mix
~1 1/2c Season Blend (chopped onion / bell pepper)
3oz tomato paste
3 tbsp minced garlic 
1 can of cream of golden mushroom soup
2 tbsp flour 
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion powder 
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 box of cooked spaghetti noodles 

Basically brown sausage and ground meat in a large pot along with the dressing mix. Allowing it to also cook off excess liquid. Add in your season blend and seasonings next, followed by tomato paste, minced garlic, and golden mushroom soup, and soup can filled with bone beef broth. Stir and add in Worcestershire sauce. Allow to cook for a few minutes, then add rest of bone beef broth and green onions. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, then add flour and stir. Cook for another 5-10minutes, allowing it to thicken some before adding in cooked spaghetti!

Thank you to @hymelskajunkitchen for this dinner idea 🫶🏻
One of my favorite things to do is work in the yar One of my favorite things to do is work in the yard ☀️🌱 While I am doing all the things outside, I make sure I have my @solbari hat! It is a must-have, especially when it comes to UPF. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.

This measures how effectively a fabric blocks UV radiation from reaching the skin. All of Solbari products are tested and rated for UPF 50+ Blocks UVA and UVB rays. This is a big deal! My easiest hack for protecting my face/scalp from skin cancer and speeding up those signs of aging. #solbari

#ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s #ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s right around the corner, and why not hear from a mother herself on some great gift ideas? 💁🏻‍♀️

@everskincare is basically “Facelift in a bottle”. Ok, SOLD! The formula is clean, and it’s formulated with LSR10, aka aging’s worst enemy, clinically proven to reduce the top 10 signs of aging. 
@trilastinskincare is a nourishing body oil that soothes dry skin, smooths skin texture, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Not to mention that it’s all-natural, hypoallergenic, non-greasy and a pregnancy-safe formula!
@blissybrand is the best kept secret that all mothers want to know about! Their signature Blissy Silk Pillowcase is crafted from 100% mulberry silk. Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t tug on your skin or absorb moisture. This helps minimize wrinkles, retain hydration, and support a clearer, more youthful complexion. Plus, it helps you wake up with smoother, frizz-free hair!
@jennybarkertheflowerdoctor ‘s book, Flower Energy: Channeling the Healing Power of Blooms, not only teaches you to interpret and channel the messages of each unique flower it holds, but the beautiful photos within are inspiring. A book that brings power and beauty to flowers and your coffee table !
@fieldsgreat knows how busy moms can be, and their Plant-Based Protein Blend contains 30g protein PLUS 5g fiber and 0g sugar in one simple shake. That’s what I am talking about! Supporting strength, digestion, and a steady energy - especially for those over 40.

Take it from this mom, these all make for great Mother’s Day gift ideas!
