TasteBook Giveaway
One of these days, I swear I’m going to organize my tried-and-true recipes once and for all. I will. I really will. My vague goal is to go through and make whatever ones I haven’t talked about on here yet, that way I can get them online and actually just get rid of the tried-and-true file altogether. But that’s going to take awhile. Until then, the mishmash of clippings and printouts sits in the corner of my office and mocks me.
But for you guys, there is actually another way, and it’s pretty cool and a great testament to technology these days. With TasteBook, you can create your own cookbook, full color and personalized to the hilt and everything. You can add in favorite recipes from the ‘net, and even personal family ones. Certainly is a far cry from those little index card files that our mothers had, isn’t it?
To help inspire you, the team at 3-A-Daygave me 20% off coupon codes to give away to Sweetnicks readers for the Nourish Your Morning book. If you’re one of the first six readers who leave your favorite dairy recipe as a comment here, it’s yours!
The cookbooks are actually pretty spiffy … colorful, tabbed and hardback covers. You can even pop them open to add or remove recipes. You can check out the demo right here on how it works.
Have at it!

Oh - I think I’ll need to try this out. I’m just creating some tried and true recipes - my problem is though that I don’t write ANYTHING down…I just cook…and it comes out good. I’m gonna start recording things though…I really am.

One of my favorite refreshing summer dairy recipes is a
Blueberry Milk Shake:
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 and 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
In blender blend the milk and blueberries first, add ice cream and blend until smooth.
I’ve had this for breakfast on those days when you just wake up and it is already hot and sticky!
