First Post

Hey everyone! I will be posting yummy recipes soon!

How this blog works is pretty simple:

Each week or so I will post a new recipe. I will include JPGs of a double-sided card you can print! Just click on the image and it will take you to a full size of the image (4 by 6 inches). If you right click on it, you can choose to save it or print it. Just be sure to load your printer properly so that you can print it double-sided (you'll have to exit out of each image and print each side separately). Once the recipe is printed out, simply cut it out and you have a nice recipe card!

I will also type out the recipe beneath the print card so that you can copy and paste the text into an email, Word document, or wherever!

After you've made a recipe, please come back and rate it and leave comments!
