Our Blog

Hi everyone!

I thought a food blog would be a nice way for us to share our recipes with each other. We are all blog authors, so everyone can contribute.

I think the minimum for a post should be a picture, the recipe, and a link or reference to where you got the recipe (if there is one). If you want to add more, feel free.

The name of the blog is still a work in progress. Feel free to suggest better titles.

If we want to enable comments on the recipes, we can. We just have to figure out how we will prevent spam comments.

If you have any ideas or preferences, let me know.
