How to Search for a Recipe

Believe it or not, I use this blog as my own personal recipe book.  I have most of the recipes I’ve posted on my computer in my cookbook…which eventually I will someday finish editing and make it available to you guys.   But there are many recipes that I created just for the blog, recipes from other guest bloggers (and of course JeffW) that I don’t keep on file anywhere else.

And, don’t tell the guys, but sometimes I need to look for a recipe at work so I can stop at the market on the way home, so it’s nice to be able to pull up the blog and get it from here. What I love about the blog is I can search by recipe name or ingredient and find what I need no matter when the original was posted.  Then I print it out and take it with me.

I started thinking the other day that you may not know how to search for recipes on the blog, so I decided a quick tutorial might be needed.  It is very simple:

Go to the Search W4DS box :

Type in an ingredient and hit enter.

If that is too many choices,  choose a couple of ingredients, like carrots, cake, pineapple.

This will bring you fewer recipes, or in this case, I was looking for the recipe for my carrot cake.

If you have a specific recipe in mind, say you want the ever popular steak coffee rub recipe, just put quotation marks around your search items:  “coffee rub” and that will bring up all the references to the recipe.

I know this is all pretty simple stuff, but I wanted to make sure you could find any recipe anytime on our little blog.  Once you find a recipe, let us know how it turned out for you, I’m always excited to know.  Bon appétit!
