Blog Questions & Questions About Our Recipes<\/h2>\n
\n\n

Would it be okay with you if I posted a recipe from your blog on my own blog, website, and\/or Facebook page? <\/h3>\n

I\u2019m creating a Round Up and would like to include your photo. Is that okay? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

Yes, you are free to use a photo of one of our recipes with a link back to our recipe. However, please do not post the ingredients or directions for making the dish.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

I commented on one of your recipes and am wondering why it hasn\u2019t been posted. <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

I make it a point to read every comment left on our blog and do my best to respond in a timely manner, especially to any questions. I love engaging with readers and only approve comments that add value to the recipe page. All comments are filtered for spam and I don\u2019t post anything derogatory or rude. I also do not post comments with links in them.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

Do you allow guest posts? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

I currently do not accept guest posts on HowToCook.recipes. I do not see this changing soon, but if the policy changes it will be updated here.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

Do you promote brands you like or allow sponsored posts? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

Yes, I absolutely do! I am always on the lookout for fabulous new products and ideas to share with our HowToCook.recipes readers. I welcome suggestions but will only consider those I think would be a good fit for our audience. In addition, we don\u2019t provide reviews of the products.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

What\u2019s the easiest way to get all your recipes? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

Once you\u2019ve signed up for my newsletter, make sure you confirm your email address.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

I would like to start blogging, can you help me figure it all out? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

Since I am asked this all the time, I\u2019ve posted some information on the topic. Please click\u00a0here<\/u>\u00a0for how to get started. You\u2019ll also find some tips for using Pinterest and a whole lot more! If you don\u2019t find the answers you need there, just send us an email and we\u2019ll try to help.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

Is there a way to print out your recipes? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

If you look above the list of ingredients on each recipe you will see a print button. Click that and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\n

I tried making one of your recipes and it didn\u2019t turn out very well. What can I do next time get it to turn out right? <\/h3>\n

\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

Since I was there when you tried making it, it is very difficult to pinpoint the exact thing that went wrong. Having said that, if a recipe doesn\u2019t turn out the first time, there are a few things you can do next time:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reread the list of ingredients, the amounts for each, and the directions to make sure you haven\u2019t skipped anything.<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure that you made no substitutions on the first try.<\/li>\n
  3. Look up the post again and read the comments and any tips involving that recipe.<\/li>\n
  4. If you still haven\u2019t uncovered what went wrong, please leave a comment for us directly on that recipe. We will try and figure out why it didn\u2019t work for you. Posting right on the recipe encourages others to provide feedback and perhaps offer suggestions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n
    \n\n

    Would this recipe work if I used [substitute ingredient] instead of [ingredient in recipe]? <\/h3>\n

    \t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
    \n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n

    The recipes we\u2019ve provided have only been made with the ingredients listed. However, there may be a lot of different ingredients that you can substitute in that will work just as well. But without trying it that way ourselves there is no way we could be sure. We recommend that you try the recipe first as written and then next time you can try adding your own twist.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \n\n

    Why would [ingredient] be included in your recipes? Ingredients like this may have chemicals in them which are not healthy. <\/h3>\n

    \n\n

    Where can I find nutritional information on your recipes? <\/h3>\n
