Now would be a great time to begin to prepare one to have
ready to give for Christmas this year!
Here is what I did:
1. I emailed friends and family and asked them for one of
their most special recipes. I did not tell them what it would be for!
2. After I got them all in (which required making a couple
of phone calls and sending 2 or 3 emails and some never even responded, but do not
let that discourage you), I typed them into Word and added a picture of the
person who gave it on the page with the recipe. Then, I composed the book in
alphabetical order by recipe.
3. Next, I printed out the pages on my printer (4x6 pages),
created a cute cover, printed it on a glossy cover stock and then hole punched them
and bound the books with plastic ring binding.
* You can buy a hole punch/binding machine at a local office
supply store for about $20. I already had one!
If you have old recipes from your parents/ grandparents (such as the photo above), you
can also add those with their picture to the book! It truly makes a cookbook
that will be treasured for years to come :)
