Helpful Hints:
- Bullet pointed ingredient lists and numbered directions work the best
- Use the URL for the webpage and not the printable version of the recipe
- In some situations it may not be necessary to include a unit of measure (UoM) for an ingredient. For example, 1 onion would not require a UoM
- Select exact quantities for ingredients such as “4 pounds ground beef” instead of “3-4 pounds ground beef”
- Use specific quantities, such as 14 ounces of canned tomatoes instead of 1 can of tomatoes
- Fractions should be listed as 1 1/2 rather than 1+1/2.
