Take an afternoon, make a cup of coffee, put on some music, and spend a little time creating a family recipe keepsake. Nothing fancy. Nothing you have to finish in one day. Just a few thoughtful pages at a time.
1. Print your keepsake
Start by printing the SUGAR + BUTTER Cookbook & Keepsake, or just print the pages you feel like working on that day.
2. Find a pretty binder you love
Choose one that feels like you. Something you’ll be happy to leave out on a shelf and reach for again and again.
3. Print a few recipe pages
Pick a few family favorites to start with. Maybe a recipe you make all the time, something handwritten from a loved one, or one you never want to forget.
4. Make the pages personal
This is the fun part.
Draw some little artwork. Add a photo. Tuck in a handwritten recipe card. Write a few love notes inside. Jot down who loved the recipe, where it came from, or a memory that goes with it.
It doesn’t have to be perfect or Pinterest-worthy.
It just has to feel like your family.
5. Come back to it later
Add another page next weekend. Or next month. Let it grow slowly.
That’s what makes it special.
Over time, you’ll end up with something that feels part cookbook, part journal, part scrapbook — and completely yours.
If you’d like to start one of your own, you can find the SUGAR + BUTTER Cookbook & Keepsake on Etsy.
