NEW LABELS!

Hey everybody! Just an FYI: I added a new set of labels to make finding recipes a little bit easier. I have added a skill level label (easy, intermediate or advanced) to each recipe and a "quick" tag to recipes that take 30 minutes or less.



If you have not used the "labels", check the first sidebar on the right for the list of labels. When you click on a label, you will see all of the posts that have been labeled with that word. It is an easy way to search the recipes by ingredient, type of cuisine and now difficulty level!



Easy recipes are those that involve either very few ingredients or ready made/store bought ingredients. These are the type of recipes that you can throw together quickly on a weeknight for dinner, quick meal or snack. These are your best bet when you are tempted to go to the drive through! After all, it takes at least 30 minutes to go to the drive through, wait and drive back, right?



Intermediate recipes involve more fresh ingredients, chopping, cooking and maybe learning a new skill or two.



Advanced recipes have a lot of ingredients, have a lot of steps and can be time consuming. But don't worry, if they made it onto the blog they are worth all of the work!



Then there are the quick recipes. Don't be mistaken, not all "easy" recipes are quick and not all "quick" recipes are easy. Roasting vegetables, for example, is very easy but requires a lot of time in the oven (usually unattended so it's easy).



And here is the disclaimer: obviously not everyone will agree with me on whether a recipe is easy, intermediate or advanced so please take that with a grain of salt. If you are a beginner PLEASE do not shy away from recipes just because they are not labeled "easy". You can't learn if you don't challenge yourself, right? ;)



Enjoy everyone!
