I would love for Mylot to have a Recipe Section, They are alot of great recipes here floating around Mylot, it is just time consuming and hard to find them all. That is why I would love a recipe section so that we may post our recipes in and so others may also comment on them or add more themselves. I know I for one would be in there posting me favorites. Would you? Would it be great to have your recipes and others that you like at your fingertips here at Mylot? I know it will be hard to do but trying to find all these great recipes is hard. It would also be great if we had a rating system on them like stars so other Mylotters could rate them from 0-5. So who here is with me on this? I think the way it is we miss out on alot of great recipes that could become family favorites. I know alot are thinking the last thing we need is another recipe flooating around. But for those who use them daily it is something we enjoy.

That would be a great idea. There is a way that you can make new intrests. I'm not sure how but I am sure someone on here knows how to make a new intrest. Just remember to post the link here so that we know where to go etc. I have seen quite a few recipes in here as well and it would be alot easier that having to go through all of the posts just to find some.

I wish they could add the section up top along beside the friends and messages and also when a new recipe is added have it tell you one has been added like it does with messages. I have a discussion with alot of great recipes in it from alot of mylot posters and I would just love to see them all together in one place and see them with just a push of a button instead of scattered allover. Thanks to both I appreciate the response. Have a nice day and hope you enjoy Mylot.

I am sorry to hear that, I know you were looking forward to having that kitten. It will be rare to find another kitten with 6 toes. I don't know why people can be so mean and change their minds after promising the kitten to you..Maybe you will find another kitten, I am sure it won't be the same though. Just think though since he is moving maybe you will get to meet a new friend that will be moving in..

I am so so day, remember how I was supposed to get a cat with six toes, well the man next door claims that the cats were stolen, yeah right, he just changed his mind and gave it to somebody else I am sure of it.

This would be nice if MyLot did have a section for recipes, but right now for the most part they get deleted. So I don't see that they will change this any time soon. I don't cook a lot, so I'm not sure if I would be drawn to these types of discussions or not.

Hey terri0824, Thanks for the post to my discussion, I really appreciate your honest opinion and know that others think the same, but having a recipe section of Mylot would keep the discussion of them down and out of the discussions area since they would be regulated to the recipe section of the site. Well, again thanks for you time in ansering my post. Have a nice day today.

I say go for it. The only thing I fear is people still reporting recipes (even though members ASKED for them). Another thing I'm not too keen about, it seems posting recipes isn't helpful in some members view, even though the recipes were responses to people asking for them. Also, if you want to post recipes you should, but there should be some sort of safeguard so the person is contributing something other than the recipe (like a story, an opinion, or an explanation). Otherwise, what would stop an opportunist from coming in and just posting recipe discussions. Maybe a rule where a member can only have one discussion for recipes per month. It would also be nice if those that do help with recipes were actually shown some respect for taking time and helping. I only fear the "nothing but recipes or jokes" syndrome for some obvious members (and they'll be dealt with). For an opposite example just look at me. Its 5000+ responses, but its not all recipes and not all humor... FAR from that. -_-

I will admit that I do have a recipe swap discussion and that I have posted some recipes in others dicussions not alot but I have. I really didn't see much wrong in it because I thought it a way to get and give new recipes to each other. I was wanting a section so I would be able to try some of the recipes others have posted but they are so many and I would be jumping from post to post just trying to find them to try and that as I stated above is time consuming which alot of don't have alot of extra time to be searching mylot for recipes from post to post and page by page. I barely have time to post to the formum as much as I would like. I wouldn't want to be judged differnetly or my opinion thought of as not as important just because I did happen to post some recipe. I never did think of the piracy of recipes though which I should have and that would possibly keep mylot on thier toes keeping up with them. I figure alot of recipes are just variations of old ones with new twist,ingredients added to make them special your own but I guess I wouldn't have many recipes to post that where actually my own and not just added or tooken away from, But still I think it would be great. I have alot of recipes and I am sure others do as well and it would be great ot see them all in their own section even if they didn't get points awarded.Have a great night theprogramer.

I would like to add some of my deceased granmothers and a few of my moms I think she would like that I shared them with others. She should get on her and post her own though but now she hasn't gotten internet so she can't. Maybe they can make a section especially for recipes and show how many we have entered. I love recipe swapping just as much as the next person. I love hearing about new ideas abou an old recipe to give it flair or taste some of the old ones do seem a little bland sometimes but that was possibly due to the times and there era and now days we have all kinds of new interesting things to add to recipes. Here to hoping we get that section. Cheers!

oh yes, why not? I don't get tired of looking through recipes. Even though some may sound the same or even look, there are bound to be some ingredients that adds to the flavor. I am all for it and willing to share some of my moms recipe's as well.

I will be welcome that mylot has its own recipe part. I think as people living in the world, all of them like delicious food, sharing the recipes with people from all over world, to make full use of the food material around, so that we can enjoy our life better than before. If I have chances i will try to make out new dishes for people around.

Yes I would love to have a reciepe site. I was told by someone that I could not put my pork& bean reciepe on here because they will delete it. I don't know why its judt a reciepe and I feel if people try it then we canhear from them to see how they likd it or if they have problemms with it. what does evrybody else think? do you agree or disagree?

Hey blueangel51 and welcome to mylot. That is what I was talking about having a section for so others could view the recipes we put on. I can understand them not wanting Mylot covered in recipes though and for awhile there is was,but Mylot has alot of women members and that is just second nature to us swapping recipes. I have a swaping recipe discussion already started along time ago and alot have posted their recipes in their and some still are. So if you want to post your recipe in that discussion I wouldn't mind a bit and maybe others will be able to see if and comment on it. Well hope we do get that section though.

That is a great idea. I didn't think of it before you made mention of it, but now that you posted the idea its really a good one. It would make it so much easier if we could find recipes and share recipes in a certain forum or special section. I don't know how they would have it done but great idea!

Hey mamasan34, Thanks for taking the time to post to my discussion I really appreciate it. It is true it would be simpler if they were a section alot more people would be able to enjoy the recipes alot more. And maybe when hubby is home he could use it to help him in cooking or making you a special dinner. Thanks and you have a blessed day.

that is a wonderful thought. being a food freak i love to try all new recipes to get my tastebuds tingling .getting bored with all those usual dishes i watch tv cookery shows to get something to work on. it has been one of my favourite pasttimes for the last few years. but many shows are not interestng and seems unpalatable and waiting for the show all week long is too long .if such a section is to kick start then it can be a good ground for all those food lovers and masterchefs. hope that mylot make our wish come true.

I think that sounds like a pretty good idea! I love to see some of the recipes that people have for different things and I for one would use it quite a lot, and there are probably a lot of people who enjoy trying out different recipes.

I think having a recipe section is a great idea. I'm always looking up recipes on these other sites and sometimes I have questions, but theres no one to ask on the other sites. If we had a section here we could ask the person submitting the recipe questions if we had any. I think its a wonderful idea especially for someone like me that likes to cook and is always looking for new recipes and ideas.

That is a great example of why we need it as a section that way those who don't want to be bothered or see them doesn't have to but those who are interested can. I also have gotten recipes from different sites and had questions but only sometimes found a comment page but most times nobody answers pr if they do it way to late. Thanks for responding to my discussion kblakley I appreciate it alot and hope we get that section sooner or later. Have a nice night.

I had posted a recipe in cooking and its called pork& bead bread and this weekend I am posting a 7-up reciepe in cooking but some how I made it a discussion so hopefully they won't delete it the one I just did. its alot of work typing a reciepe out word by word but I don't mind if folks really want it and beleive me they responed to the pork&bean bread. if you haven't tried it you could give it a try its really good and easy to make I like easy reciepes also I my my own cookbook with different reciepes and then cover the binder with cloth and decarate it.

Hello blueangel51 and welcome to mylot. I am wanting a special section for that in Mylot. That way those who make recipe discussions doesn't have to worry about them being deleted because they will be allowed in their own section. I have heard that some of the recipe discussions have been deleted recently. I have a slew of favorite recipes that I have wrote down in tablets so that I don't have go to several different cookbooks just to find my favorites that I make. I have a few binders left that my husband got after he gave a bunch out to the kids all around in the holler we live in. Ibet those are pretty. I have a aunt who makes things like that for newlyweds and house warming gifts. Well, hope you have a nice time here at Mylot and that you make lots of new friends and get great tips,ideas, and information that is needed, or just to swap stories.

I am all for a recipe section! I love cooking, mostly the baking part of it but still! I agree with the rating system as well. Could give a short review of what you thought and if you made your own little experimental changes and stuff. That's always cool. I give it a thumbs up!

I love cooking, since my hunnby likes it. So I am happy that Mylot have a recipe section. I do various types of food and crave for a different one always. I guess no one in the world will hate food. Everyone enjoys food and hence discussing something which is very very common in the world and enjoyable by the majority people in this world. So discussing something about such things is a really great favour. Infact I have various recipes on hand and I will definitely publish them one by one as early as possible. So that everyone reads it and cook their favourites and bless me. I hope married girls and bachelors really enjoy this topic, as they can refer this section for making a delicious food. people who needs varieties of food and crave for different places food like me can make use of this section extensively. I pray god that people should respond to this discussion extensively, which motivates great cookies to publish their receipes as much as possible.

Hey winterose, Hope today is treating you well. Well that is the good part htey can add their favorites and maybe things they make that they have added their own touches to. I got rid of alot of cookbooks because they might have been only a few in the whole book that I would even consider trying so I just wrote those down and gave the book away. It is best to post things you have already made yourself and enjoyed so if others have questions about it you will be able to answer them an truthfully. Have a good night winterose.Happy posting.

I agree it would be great. I am surprised as well since we have so many recipe and cookbook discussions here at Mylot. It would help in clearing it up some and keeping the discussions page free of them. I had a Swap recipe discussion and it did great it is a natural thing to swap recipes and household tips especially if you get alot of women gathered in one spot long enough..So I am hoping. Have a nice night.

I have one that has almost 80 responses to it, more if you include the ones to left comments in others responses. I have had it over a year now I think and luckily they haven't deleted it as of yet. It love getting and giving recipes. I use them alot to spice up my cooking because I love that every one has their own way of doing things sometiimes and putting new twist on old recipes to make them even better. I'd be in heaven. Maybe if we make enough noise about it it might happen look at all the other great changes that has happened to mylot . So heres hoping.. have a great night Stephcjh.

Hey goldeneagle thanks for your response I really appreciate it. I am hoping we will get a recipe section be less hassle then deleting a bunch of discussions that we make with the recipes. And I think alot would enjoy it, I know I would especially if I didn't have to jump from discussion to discussion to find all of them. to time consuming to look for them all we'd get less time to post tht is for sure, but then again if we had the section then we be in there browsing looking at all the good recipes and not get much posting done.

Hello ellyij,Welcome to Mylot I hope you will enjoy it alot and meet lots of new friends and enjoy the great discussions that are rotating around here. I think that is an awesoome idea. I love trying new things and to be able to follow a recipe from other countries that they enjoy would be great. I find that in alot of the recipe books they change alot of the ingredients maybe because it isn't sold here or whatever I don't know. But it would be cool to get some authenic recipes from our friends here at Mylot. Thanks for the response I really appreciate it alot. Hope you have a great night.
