Most people who know me, know I love to bake - with some cooking thrown in there. That love is probably a bigger reason for me being on Weight Watchers than giving birth to twins. But I do love it; and I love providing my family with food they love and is good for them, for the most part (I mean, I can't really claim that soft, buttery pretzels fresh from the oven are really good for us).
A couple of years ago, I stumbled across this website, Tastebook, where you can design your own cookbook and enter all of your own recipes. So, you end up with a fully customized cookbook with just the recipes you want/use. I, of course, had to have it! My wonderful hubby got me a gift card to the site for Christmas, so I could design our family cookbook. I was ecstatic!!
Well, then my business took off, we got pregnant with twins, we moved, we had twins...
But I finished it! Not until last night, but I finished it and sent it to the printer! It's a great site, easy to use, and the book looks amazing. You have the opportunity to choose your cover and title, and add a dedication page with a picture if you want. The cookbook is tabbed by categories for easy finding. And, even if you don't fill it up on the first printing, you won't be wasting your money. The price point I ordered allows for 50 recipes (the books hold 100), but I only entered 30 recipes to get started. The great thing is, I don't lose those other 20 recipe spaces. They simply credit my account for 20 recipes that I can order at a future time and add to my book. Genius!!
I cannot wait to receive our cookbook and start using it. Each time I use a recipe, I know I will be cooking a meal I selected especially for my boys. And I'm sure that will make it taste even better!
