Christmas Cookbook

So for Christmas I got a few things for my boyfriend: new shoes, funky socks, a mug that looks like a camera lens... and I also made him a little cookbook! He plans on moving out on his own for the first time in a couple months, and he doesn't know the first thing about cooking. So I gave him some basic tips on how to prepare foods, clean his kitchen, and some easy little recipes. He loved it, especially cause I did all the drawings myself! :)

It was only like 20 pages but I worked for a good month on it. I put it together and printed it with Blurb, which was very simple and professional and I highly recommend it. They even let others see a preview of the book! Here it is in case you are interested: http://www.blurb.com/books/4944088-cooking-basics 

Here are some of the little drawings I did to go along with the book:

Intro: This is a Kitchen

Sweets

Starches (Breads, pasta, rice, and potatoes)

Spices, Herbs, Wet and Dry Goods

I gave him lists of alll the basics, from flour to dill weed (we're Polish and use that on everything)

Cookware and cleaning supplies

Merry Christmas!

Further decorated my Christmas bags for my family and friends. It was a great Christmas this year, same routine as every year, though somehow it felt like the end of something. A lot was different, with a couple babies and a few lost loved ones. I think it may mark the arrival of new traditions next year. Maybe Christmas will be at another house next year? I will have to wait and see! Hope everyone's holiday was fantastic as well. On another note, I got a pajama set with a matching dog hat (I know, I'd be jealous too). Happy Holidays to everyone! :)
