So, I did it! I started a Bloggers' Cooking Club and you are all invited to join. The rules are simple:

  1. COOK IT. Make something yummy for yourself or your loved ones.
  2. SNAP IT. Take plenty of pictures.
  3. BLOG IT! Tell us how you made it.
And since this is Summer and I know everyone is busy with Summertime activities, I won't add any requirements as to how often you need to post or what day of the week you need to blog about it. I want this to be fun and stress-free for everyone... and I'll admit that I am doing it for my own selfish reasons... I need to get more ideas of what to make for my family as I am quickly running out! ;)

So, if you are interested in joining us, please leave a comment under this post and make sure you leave the URL of your blog so I can add it to the COOKING CLUB BLOG ROLL. Yes, that's right, I made a special page for us... a central location where anyone can come and link right to your blog and check out what culinary wackiness you've been up to! :)

Feel free to snag this smaller logo for your side bar and make sure it links to: http://www.modkidboutique.com/cookitblogit



So, go on... grab the logo, leave us your URL and get cooking! Can't wait to see what you all cook up this Summer!

I'll get the fun started tomorrow with my very first made-from-scratch Key Lime Pie. YUMMMMMM! But, meanwhile, if you'd like to try a recipe of mine that turned out AWESOME, check out my ceviche recipe. Or, if you're up for some laughs check out my baking disaster from last year. Let's just say I've come a long way! ;)

**UPDATE!** I just created a Flickr group for our Cook it. Blog it! club... just another way for us to share photos, link to our blogs and see what we've been cooking up. So, if you Flickr, go ahead and sign up. Just like out club, this group is open to the public so anyone can join!

Let me know when you've got something up so I can check it out.

modkidboutique said...

Alicia and Angela have been added. :)

To add a logo with hyperlinks you have to choose "HTML/Java Script" when you "Add an Element" to your sidebar in Blogspot. Just grab the logo from my blog and use http://modkidboutique.com/cookitblogit/ as the link.

I can write a better "tutorial" later this week... right now we're running off to the airport so I don't have time. Sorry.

Alicia said...

Thanks, got it!

Stacey said...

Hi there, me again. Not sure what I am doing wrong here re: the logo. I am able to put it as a picture but I am not able to have it link back to you. Don't I need a code for it? And do we just let you know when we put something special up? Thanks!!!!!
