Thanks to all who have sent lovely words of encouragement as I created this project in order to learn the ins and outs of adding content and girth to my website. I have learned a lot this past month, and am now figuring out how to add a specially formatted block for recipes in order to make it easier for you, dear cooking fiend, to have an easier go of following the recipe. And drop any suggestions you'd like to see in these Month-Of series by commenting below, as I will be doing one again in the fall. I'd love to hear what kinds of foods you'd like to see up on the blog.
