"I believe recipes are guidelines, not commandments,"
- Me, just now.
Hey, you can call me “L” I live with my wonderful boyfriend (I’ll call him MG in this blog), along with our menagerie of pets and 1.5 year old toddler. MG and I love to try new recipes and restaurants whenever we can and he loves to eat anything I make (except for the great Jack fruit debacle of 2021…). If I try a new dish at a restaurant, I try to recreate my own version of it at least once (usually, I find that enjoying the dish at the restaurant outweighs the clean-up after making it myself…).
This blog is 1/3 Cup me needing a digital place to store my recipes; 1/3 Cup me trying out web design because I get bored easily; and 1/3 Cup me and my friends needing a better way of sharing our recipes than texting a picture of an old piece of paper from a broken 3 ring binder which may or may not have food smudges on it…
None of us have any educational background in food, nutrition, or photography- this blog will likely reflect that. All of my photos are taken using my phone and I don’t have one of those fancy diffusing photography lights (maybe one day I will, but today is not that day). I will try to take the pictures near a window for the natural light, but sometimes (like, every evening) there is no natural light, meaning some pictures might not be as nice as others. I hope you all can see the yumminess of these dishes despite my photography skills!
Most of my recipes are SUPER adaptable for different dietary needs or flavor preferences; specifically low or alternative sugar diets. Diabetes runs in my family, and I’m trying to outrun diabetes.
Good information. Lucky me I found your website by chance (stumbleupon).
I have book-marked it for later!
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time making a
decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I
had to ask!
Hi there,
I use WordPress because it can use Gutenberg Blocks rather than actually coding. YouTube has wonderful tutorials! Good luck!
What a nice website. I can’t wait to try a recipe
Love this and you. Can’t wait to read all your incredible ideas.
Yay! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get more content posted! 😁
“Du wurdest mit Knoblauch im Blut geboren” (You where born with Garlic in your Blood). This is a great website, great idea to capture and preserve Recipes from Friends and Families. I love it!!
Vielen Dank, Mama! I’m really glad I was able to create this, and I’m excited to get more recipes posted ☺️
