How to create your own Cookbook

June 1, 2022

How many of you have boxes stuffed with torn out pages of recipes, notes or destroyed recipe cards? Um… I do!  Since I am an organizing, neat freak, I wanted to come up with an idea on how I could keep those recipes and possibly give them away in a fun format. After cruising through the amazing internet, I found a couple of options.

Create your own Cookbook

Yes, there is a website that you can create your own cookbook. You can pick a style, upload imagines and publish either in a hardcopy or e-book format. If you are not tech savy, they have a “WeTypeIt” service to assist with typing the recipes for a fee.

For more information about their services, just press the link below:

Shutterfly

Shutterfly is a large photo printing company that creates personalized gifts like stationery, items and photobooks. I create photobooks all the time and have been using this company for as long as I can remember. I just noticed that they have a cookbook creation option. I haven’t tried it out yet. I did see some reviews that were positive but you can always select another photobook style and go from there. Here’s the link for that option below:

I am so inspired to create a book of recipes as a coffee table in my own home or as a gift. I will let you know which company I chose and how it came out.

Good Ole’ Tomato Soup

November 21, 2021

I decided to mix it up with Tomato soup with very little effort. I just add a bag of BirdsEye, SteamFresh frozen Southwest Style vegetables. No judgement here, lol. When it’s only you and hubby at home, you make it as easy as you can and it’s cost effective too.

All you need to do..

1 Can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup

1 Bag of SteamFresh Southwest Style, Protein Blend

Cook as directed and stir together.

You can even put some Tomato Basil Wheat Thins crumbled on top for a little crunch.

Of course, a board that is large enough for all those fun snacks to display, any fruit, cheeses, cookies, cheese and more. Since this is the 4th of July, let’s pick anything and everything red, white and blue.
