A lot has happened since our one month-aversary! For those who I know personally, you have by now seen the news on Facebook that we are moving out of California and headed to Arizona. For privacy purposes, I'm not mentioning exactly where on here. We plan to move over the next month-ish. My husband got a wonderful job that we just could not pass up, and I'm working on getting required job certificates so I can begin the job hunt out there.
Also, I recently posted on Facebook about wanting to create or even changing this blog to a recipe sharing blog. I've recently discovered wonderful recipes thanks to friends and crock pot recipe books and other recipe books. Our current living situation prevents us from being able to do much other than the toaster over or crock pot, or our oven. When we move, I plan to have a counter top more than 3 cabinets long, therefore allowing for more cooking prep space. The response for starting one was great, so here's what I'd like to do. I've compiled a list of sections for recipes. When I post a recipe, I will tag it with whatever category or categories the said recipe applies to. I will also have a post dedicated to JUST the categories so that anyone contributing may reference for submitting their recipe. I am willing to accept recipes from others, but please know I'll have guidelines to follow in order for me to post them.
- First, the recipe must include all ingredients and directions (this should be a given, but I've seen several that are "generic" amounts to pour into a recipe). Also, please include how many servings the recipe makes.
- Second, please site your source. Where did you get your recipe? I will not post a recipe without it. If you got it online, please just say so. If your Cousin Bobbi Jo or your Babushka passed it to you, just say so.
- Third, please list ALL categories in which you believe your recipe falls under. You will be able to find the post about that once I get it up. It will be a constantly updated running list.
- Fourth, if you want to remain anonymous, just let me know, but please send me your name. I won't put your name in the post, but if I have questions, I can't just say "Dear Anonymous...."
- It must be a recipe you have tried. I want to know how your family liked it when you submit it! That's part of the fun! If they liked it, say so! If they, or you, suggest something different, or paired it particularly well with a side dish, or added or took out something, I would like to include that in the post. (If you haven't noticed, a recipe submission here is kind of acting like a review for the rest of us!)
- Last, if you submit a recipe, I have every right to accept it, deny it, alter it in any reasonable way, and I promise I will make every effort to notify you of what they are before I post those changes.
- I also will not post a recipe received less than 3 days before the next post. I will post once per week, on a day still to be determined (probably Monday or Tuesday's)
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!
