I have to tell you something. When I’m looking for a recipe for a certain something I no longer do a Google search for it. I used to refer to cookbooks or magazines long ago. Then came Google & then Pinterest.
But you know what? I have been reading certain blogs for so long that I remember who made what & my friend’s recipes have become my “go-to” now. If I’m looking for a certain kind of casserole, I know who made what I’m after & I can visit them directly to print the recipe. I love it because I know that these recipes are ones I can trust, like this Grilled Chicken & Bacon Pizza with Garlic Cream Sauce.
It’s not just some random recipe I came across. Nope- it’s from someone I value as an expert & I know it’s going to be amazing. So when I had the chance to join a handful of bloggers (all of whom I visit & re-make their recipes frequently) to collaborate on a recipe share I couldn’t pass it up.
