Left overs? Portion out and freeze them in zip locks! Thaw under warm water and empty baggy contents into a pan to reheat for a quick and easy meal!

Recipe Links

I love this site because It has lovely pictures, a handy Recipe Key! My favorite feature is the jump to recipe key! so simple yet you often have to scroll forever on recipe pages

I love Tasty recipes because they have a super condensed video to help guide you! the website itself is a little cluttered and overwhelming. It is organized and there is no scrolling excessively which is good!

skiny taste has a comprable structure and recipe organization system to minimalist baker. this one is less recipe blog and focuses on the rececipe! It offers variations and suggetsions which are fun tips!

Website links

The story element of the site combines text and image in a cool way for effective story telling! I want my recipe to tell a story.

Valfre has a cool use of banners as page dividers in each section! an interesting way to think about breaking up my pages.

This website creates a user experience and captures his story telling abilities!
