Passing recipes down to our children is a great way to keep the recipes in the family and keeping traditions for years to come. Lynne created this clean and classic cookbook titled Recipes from Mom. We know there will some tears when this gift is opened. The recipes are written in Lynn’s hand which makes it even more memorable. This project is perfect for holiday gifts, but you will want to start now collecting the recipes and making duplicates or archiving them.
Farmhouse Kitchen Heritage Cookbook
As my daughter has moved into adulthood, and has begun a
family of her own, I thought it was time to pass on some
of the FAMILY RECIPES.
I began with a
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Canvas Portfolio and a 5 x 7 Tabbed Book ~ White
and LOTS of Farmhouse Kitchen pieces parts!
For a Detailed look at how the pages are put together see
It is at this point I want to warn you….
I had my recipebook all put together, flipped the first page
to find I had adhered the backside “pocket pages” WRONG
and had to tear my book apart.
NOTE TO SELF: BACKSIDE PAGES ARE TO BE ADHERED UPSIDE DOWN!
I left blank pages so I could write notes to my daughter.
I don’t know about you but I love looking at recipes
written by my mother or grandmother!
The Farmhouse Kitchen line has such a homey feeling to it and the lines make it easy to jot down recipes, notes and messages.
The Farmhouse Panel Cards fit just PERFECT on the 5 x 7 tabbed pages.
You can see how the Canvas Corp Brands Greeting Card Envelops
work PERFECTLY to create pockets for my recipes.
One of my favorite recipes to pass along…..
my mother’s Sugar Cookie recipe.
I remember making these cookies as a child
and passed along that tradition to my children.
I just love the Canvas Corp Brands ~ Farmhouse Kitchen Menu Cards.
You do have to be a bit creative to make them fit but it is worth it!
I will be asking my daughter if there are any other recipes from
her childhood that she would like to include in her book.
I have to say, I just LOVE the Farmhouse Kitchen Recipe Cards!
They come 12 to a package, 4 styles, 3 cards each!
One of my most coveted recipes came from a friend of my mothers.
I was given the recipe but told not to share….except with family.
Now, my daughter is the proud owner of that recipe
GUARD IT WELL!
I kept the back page simple as it slips into the pocket of the
Canvas Portfolio.
I hope you have enjoyed my Heritage Recipe Book,
have learned from my mistake,
and are inspired to pass along your family recipes.
