Welcome to Gilly's Place

A few years ago my granddaughters asked me to put together a cookbook of about 20 family favorite recipes and when I did the 20 pages looked rather skimpy so I added more, and more, and more till their binders held 60. Heavily embellished I gave them to the girls at Christmastime. Every Christmas since then I've added 60 more pages to their collections and have reached the 300 mark...and they're looking forward to getting even more. These are not random recipes, they're all tried and true. Anyway, when word got around it seems everybody and their second cousin wanted a cookbook so I began selling them to cover the cost of materials and now I'm passing them on to others as digital freebies, who like me, enjoy family, friends, cooking, and sharing. Print the pages to a standard letter size and save them in any old binder that blends with your kitchen. Please do print them for yourself and gift-giving to family and friends but please do not claim as your own as it wouldn't be fair to the designers I buy from or the wonderful talent that is freely given by bloggers. I'd love to hear from you and if you leave a comment on a post I will reply on the same. Please don't leave anything on the 4shared page, I seldom think to check those.

Chicken Fingers with Dipping Sauce

I COULD JUST CRY!!!  The guy at Staples said he'd transferred all my folders to the new Dell but he MISSED THE TWO BIGGEST FOLDERS EVER!  I lost my PCCrafter folder of over two hundred scrap kits and since the company closed down the site 12/31/11 I can no longer upload and save them to hard copy.  My DIL's BIL is a self proclaimed computer geek so I'll see if he can draw the little suckers out and put them on a flash drive for me.  If not, I'll cry for a day or two then go on with my life.  The second folder, BTW, contained all my other scrap kits in one folder they were lost also but that's not too too bad.  I had about 80% of them on CDs and another 10-15% can be re-downloaded from my accounts.  Lesson learned...I'm out to buy USBs by the case load.

A small bit of good news, he recovered my Happy Hour folder with lots of unpublished cocktail recipes.  I think I'll get good use out of these for the next day or so, (teeheehee, she said sarcastically.)

So, now the crying's done, let's get on with it, shall we?

Thanks for stopping by, catch 'ya later!

  3. Hello there~.. I am so sorry to hear you lost your valuable folders! I know how upsetting this can be. Like you,I have all my kits burned to CD's, but I also would like to recommend if I may, that instead of USB's, get you a external hard drive for backing up. I suggest getting the brand called "Click Free", so super easy to use! Just plug it in and it does the rest! Love it! That way you don't need so many flash drives or USB's. I only use my flash drive for transferring files from computer to computer. I hope this helps. I love your blog... :) Susan

  5. I am so sorry to hear that you lost some of your files! I loved the PCCrafter site and was really sad to see it has closed - I didn't realize that until I read your posting - I often use their art for making my cards. Hopefully, you can recover some of your clipart files.

    Thanks very much for sharing another great recipe - chicken is one of my favorites!!
