Gift Idea Using Hand Written Recipes

 

Did you know there are companies who can print your hand written recipes onto a kitchen towel for gift giving?  I just found this out, but have not done it.  I talked to the kids, and they said they "already" have Mom's recipe for hot cranberry punch, and did not want a towel.

Anyway, just sharing for those who may want to save a family recipe and do this.

First of all, the custom recipe towel idea is fantastic! I've never heard of that, and I'll probably have some towels made without asking, lol.

Secondly, I am so so sorry you got hacked. What a headache especially because the victim is always the one to get the runaround. It shouldn't be that way.

About the copyright notice. I don't recall where you had it before. I have one in my blog footer (which I doubt anyone ever gets to) and also at the end of every post (copy, paste, and update for each new post). On my fiber journal, I put the copyright notice near the top of the sidebar. I used blogger's layout page to add gadgets for those. It's odd they don't have a specific copyright gadget, but they don't. If you don't have a copy, here's the symbol to copy and paste where you want it

I knew this, but just haven't done it. Perhaps a bit later the sons would like something like this.

God bless.

Leigh, thanks. Yes, I found that some Etsy stores will make the towels or even have the recipe printed on hot pads as well. Other places online may also make them.

Thanks for the tips. It was a pain, and I spent most of my morning getting my blog fixed. I will look at yours again too to see how you copyright your posts.

Jackie, it is a great gift idea. That is my Mom's handwriting and her famous Christmas time punch recipe.

No matter where you decide to put your copyright notice, I recommend always including a link to your own blog in every post. Years ago I had a whole series of posts stolen from my fiber blog for a spam blog (created with 100% stolen content) that was pushing viagra. I only found this out by checking statcounter referral links; someone had clicked a link within my post and ended up on my blog. Of the dozens of people this guy stole content from, only one other person had a link back to their own blog. I contacted that person and together we brought the spammer down.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
