Instructions

Okay so let's follow the following format for our posts, to keep it consistent.

1. When you make the recipe try to take a quick picture of it. Then upload that and place it at the top of the post. (If this is too difficult don't worry about it, we'll try to add one later, as the rest of us make them.)
2. List the ingrediants, then the instructions, and anything special you would like to add; like where you got the recipe, or what to serve it with.
3. Post the nutritional information at the bottom. I use caloriecount.com to enter my recipes and get the nutritional info., but sometimes it's listed wherever you find the recipe. (This step can also be skipped if it's too difficult, and we'll try to add it later as well.)
4. Labeling: Now this step is important. When on the "New Post" screen, if you look to the bottom of the post box, in the middle; you'll see a sentance that says, "Labels for this post:". In that box to the right please take the time to type in whatever words you would use to look up that recipe, such as, cassarole, main dish, dinner, or listing a main ingrediant. This will make it so that we can look it up easily, like a recipe book.

If you want to venture out away from recipes, and try adding something else, feel free. That's why we called it specialties and not recipes... the sky is the limit!! ;) Hope you guys have fun with this. We'll see how it goes. Let me know if you have any questions.
Love you.

Introduction

Okay ladies, Jessica called me the other day and suggested us starting a blog, so here it is. The plan is to post all of our recipes, then lable them with related terms like; cassarole, main dish, appetizer, etc... That way when we log on to find a recipe it will be organized much like a recipe book. This may take a little trial and error, because I've never worked on a shared blog before, but I think it could be neat.
Also, I want to post the nutrition facts of each meal, because I think it could be helpful, so I can either show you how to or, just let me know when you post a new recipe and I'll go ahead and do them for you.
Happy Blogging. You can post comments if you have questions or just email me. But I set it up so that each of you will recieve an email whenever there is a comment left on a post. If you would like me to change that let me know.
Here's to us!
