Hi,

My name is Susan and I work with a high traffic cooking site called www.cookeatshare.com. I have tried a few recipes of yours and was very impressed. We would like to make you a featured chef on our site in August or September. Our "featured chef" section, which is at the very top of our home page, gets tremendous exposure to our over 300,000 monthly visitors. You can see it here...www.cookeatshare.com. The featured chef also gets exposure in our monthly newsletter, which goes out to a very broad audience.

We are a cooking social network for professional chefs and foodies. We've grown rapidly over the past year and now reach over 300,000 unique visitors on a monthly basis. We've had great write ups in the Daily Candy, Eater, San Jose Mercury News, Orange County Register, and many other reputable sites.

We really like the recipes and other content you post on your blog, which is why we'd like to make you a featured chef. You can link back to your blog from your profile and from your recipes, so this is truly a win-win. Creating a profile and uploading recipes can be done in just a few minutes, and I can help as much as you need me to.

You can reach me at susanspires@gmail.com. Or just sign up on CookEatShare and send me a message through the site. My profile name is Susan Spires. I look forward to working with you!

2009-05-21T09:23:54.281-05:00

This sounds really good. Looking at it, makes me think about how you could jazz this up with a few other really simple ingredients. You could add corn or rice to the sausage mixture. You could also add some Mexican style cheese, like cojita. You could also just crumble the cojita over the top, which would be just as good and very simple!

Yummmmmmm! Now this has made me hungry!

2009-05-17T23:56:00.000-05:00

I agree that they should be shared. That's what tweaks them and makes them such awesome recipes for all kinds of tastes.

I do know that some get rather...testy if theirs are copied and I dont want to step on toes when using them.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delay in replying I didnt get the notification!

I love monkey bread! I make it once in awhile because it's so good that it's hard to keep in the house more than once in awhile!

2009-05-01T07:55:00.000-05:00

I personally think that if you put your recipe out there you are inviting people to use it...hopefully with credit back to the original poster.

To me, recipes are meant to be shared, imitated, changed up, mixed around, made better, sometimes made worse, read, shared, clipped, copied, and tucked away for future use....in other words, a recipe is merely a starting point, and in the world of blogging - a public one, for anyone who wishes to use and make their own.

Just my .02.

Off topic completely...

One of the blogs I read that I found through you (http://oneordinaryday.wordpress.com/) posted about a book that she read called The School of Essential Ingredients.

Sounds like an excellent one to add to your list of "to read". I am going to look for it this weekend myself.

Tell your Dad and Mom I said hi! *hugs*

Dawn: I agree about the recipes that have pics for every step. Especially since a lot of times I look at them on my BB. Thanks for the comment!

cab: thanks for stopping by! I'm always curious what motivates others! I am not a big fan of lots of fancy stuff on websites. Most of the time I will just move on if they get to fancy.

Jo: Aww thanks for the compliment, hon. I like my blog too if I could just get the camera thing sorted. It feels half done with no images! *LOL*

2009-04-12T07:51:00.000-05:00

For me... I like photos, but like one of your comments above says, not the step by step photos. To me that's just too much unless it's a post with a complicated technique or something really unusual.

Also a friendly blog with precise recipes... unique recipes are always a bonus too.

I like your blog :D I think you have a really nice balance of good food and discussion and just all around good stuff :)

2009-04-09T18:17:00.000-05:00

For me, I like information that is relevant to my interests. For example: food, organizational topics, local restaurant news, family, and friends.

Pictures are always nice, but some blogs lean too heavily on pictures. I don't like the cooking blogs that post a picture for each step of the recipe I could understand the need if the recipe had really complicated techniques, but most of the blogs I am ready are very home cook friendly. When I have to scroll through 27 pictures to see the results...it takes something enjoyable away from me. Which is sad because the recipes usually sound very tasty, which is why I ended up on their blog.

I also like people who share the blogs they read. It is a nice to go to a blog you like have when you are looking for some new reads.

That's my two and a half cents. :o)

Hope you are doing well. Send my best wishes to your Dad and Mom. I am keeping them in my thoughts and prayers every day!

2009-04-09T01:13:00.000-05:00

Thanks for the comment! I am having camera difficulties at the moment so have had any pictures for awhile. I am hoping to have this resolved soon though.

I appreciate your comment :)

2009-04-08T09:18:00.000-05:00

I use Google Reader. I found your site from a link on another Feed I subscribe to. So I added this one to check it out. I put it in a temp folder where I put all new feeds. The ones I like get moved to the permanent folders.

Of the feeds I like best, the feeds I keep are the ones that have images in the feeds. It makes it so much easier when I want to go back and find something I remembered seeing. Also I hate clicking websites for every post. Thats what the reader is for.

I noticed you do not have images in the Google reader feeds. Since you asked I am telling you.
