Cookbook for Creative Embellishments

Did you know I have two hobbies, one is paper crafting, the other is cooking.  I love to cook for other people and make a big mess in the kitchen (I don't like cleaning it up so much 😂) So every year since 2011 (except that bad year 2020 😣) my scrappy bff's have arrived on my doorstep with two tons of scrappy "stuff", a pair of pj's and their appetites waiting for some Maggi Camp home cooking.

We decided that a recipe book of camp dishes was necessary.  I am the only obsessed cook in the crowd so I don't expect this cookbook to get used alot.  One of the gals said she would give the recipe to her SIL to make for her. LOL!!!! 

Well anyway, here it is.  I used Graphic 45's Farmhouse Collection to make the cookbook and lots of great chippies from Creative Embellishments.



The gang!



I used Wood Veneer Recipe Words throughout the cookbook.  I left them in their natural state as they looked great on the cookbook as is.





They were too large to fit on the tabs I had but I decided that didn't matter.  The tabs divide the sections and help turn the pages.  I thought the titles worked well just beneath the tabs.


...or at the bottom of the page.



Yes, "from my kitchen to yours", its the perfect quote for a cookbook, or a food gift.  I heat embossed the words with black and mustard embossing powders.



I am a firm believer that good food makes for a good life!

Does anyone use a cookbook these days?  I had a bookcase full of them but gave 90% of them away when we moved.  When I am looking for a recipe I usually run to my computer.  Of course I have my Mom's 4 recipe boxes and in there I know are some treasured recipes from my childhood.  I really need to go through them and organize!


Thanks for stopping by today!

    I’m so happy to be a gang member! This cookbook is a treasure—artistically and culinarily. I AM using it—taking ingredients to Gunnison for Chicken Pot Pie, Breakfast Casserole, and Squash Casserole. Hope i can do the recipes justice—they are yummo from Maggi’s kitchen.
