How to use the Recipe Archive
It’s one thing to have a curated collection of almost 400 recipes at your fingertips, but quite another to have an organized collection of said recipes. My goal isn’t to amass the largest collection of recipes here, but to have them as easily usable as possible. What good is pile of loveliness if there is not easy way to enjoy it?
Here are my recommendations for using the Recipe Archive.
Tip 1: Use the search function! I made the search bar large and in charge on the top of the archive so you wouldn’t end up scrolling, and scrolling, and scrolling waaaaay past the time you needed to actually stand up and start making dinner. Don’t scroll, search! Want meatballs for dinner, search meatballs! Looking for ice cream for dessert, search it!
Tip 2: Use the categories function. I hope to add to this in the future to make it even more useable, but in the meantime I’ve categorized the recipes into little collections for you to peruse. I’ve listed them below for you!
That’s all! My main point is not to get sucked into scrolling. Use the search bar if you know pretty exactly what you’re looking for. If not, come here and find a category that gets you pretty close and then scroll through that (much smaller ;) collection. Every time we use a new recipe in a weekly meal plan, it will be added to the archive (and corresponding category) so you will always have the recipes at your beck and call. Enjoy!
