More hints, tips and recipes

I’ve done lots of hints, tips and recipes on this blog. I found lots of other sites with the same sort of stuff by searching on a web site directory. You can find lots of things by searching those kinds of directories.

Directories are useful if you have a website or blog that you want to get more traffic to. Most are very easy to submit your site to. Actually I need to submit my blogs again. The last time I submitted them was several years ago.

Vacation?

I don’t remember if I posted on this blog about taking a vacation or not but I found a few things on my cpanel that shows how people got to my blog. I found things like cruises Royal Caribbean, vacation, packing for a trip, etc. I didn’t find too many strange things… this time.

I mostly get searches for recipes, tips for making your own Febreze, baking soda, crochet, hair color and stuff like that. It’s all stuff I’ve posted about on this blog. I probably have posted tips on packing a suitcase, although I can’t find that post at the moment.

I think I’ll go and check out my stats some more and see what else I can find.

On a rampage

I’m on a rampage changing the looks of my blogs again. I’m into the “grunge” look and have changed 2 of my blogs (including this one) to grunge themes (no acne scar cream needed). I changed South Jersey Fun… NOT!!! to a ranting blog and changed the theme. I’m not going to change the focus of this blog. It will stay a recipe/tips blog and I’ll try not to rant and complain here anymore.

I hope you like the new look… I know I do.

Saving Recipes

How do you keep your recipes? Do you see one online you like and save it to your hard drive? Do you print it out and put it in a book? Or do you save it to a flash drive? Right now I just have mine bookmarked and I’ll probably print them out and put them in a binder in a plastic sleeve for each one. That will keep them clean and neat and they won’t rip or tear. They certainly won’t get lost.

Why don’t you leave a comment letting me know your recipe saving ideas? I’d love to hear them!

How many?

I was just wondering how many cookbooks you own. I used to have about 10. Now I’m down to about 4 or 5. I have a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that I’ve had for years. I also have one that was my Grandmoms that is really old.

I’ve posted some recipes here from Grandmom’s cookbook before and I’ll probably post some more of them soon. Recipes way back then are kind of different than recipes today. For example… instead of saying bake at 350 degrees it will say bake in a moderate oven. I also have a bunch of recipes that Grandmom cut out of magazines and newspapers. I’ve posted some of them too.

So tell me… are you a recipe/cookbook collector?

618 days old

This blog has been around for 618 days now and I’ve made 251 posts (including this one). I’m surprised that I’ve been able to come up with that many hints, tips and recipes. There have been a few other posts, like this one, thrown in from time to time.

This blog has been through a lot of visual changes since I first started it. I think I used between 10 and 15 different themes since the beginning. That’s just something I do. I get tired of looking at one thing for so long then it’s time for a change. I do really like the theme I have now so maybe there won’t be any changes in the theme for awhile.
