Cool New Features on the Recipe Blog!

I just added some *really* cool new features to my Recipe Blog that will greatly enhance your recipe browsing experience here at kevinandamanda.com! :D

Here’s a quick run down all all the new features!

Rating: Rate your favorite recipes on a 1 to 5 star scale. The highest rated recipes will show up on the right in the sidebar. Rate the recipes by clicking the stars underneath the recipe title! :)

Most Popular: Also on the right in the sidebar are the top 5 Most Popular recipes. The most popular recipes are automatically updated and calculated (somehow) by the number of views and comments the recipe receives.

Email to Friend: Know someone who might be interested in this recipe? Email it to a friend! It sends the recipe along with the pictures and a comment from you, directly to their email. Go ahead and email one to yourself to try it out! It’s fun. :D

Print Recipe: No more dragging the laptop into the kitchen! All the recipes now have printer-friendly versions. Just click “Print Recipe” located at the bottom of every recipe to see the printer-friendly version of the recipe. From there, you can click “Print” down at the bottom of the page and it will automatically print it out for you! :)

So hurry on over and check out all the new features!!
Don’t forget to rate your favorite recipes. :)

And while you’re there, you may notice that I added 2 new recipes! :D These are two of my all-time favorites. :)

NEW Recipes - Bacon Cheeseburger Chicken & Breakfast Casserole

Hey! :) Just wanted to let you know I’ve added two new recipes to the recipe section of my webpage! In honor of our 6th Year Anniversary yesterday, these two recipes are two of Kevin’s *favorite* meals I make. I hope they become some of your favorites too! :)

And can I show off what I made last night for our anniversary? :D Kevin’s favorite meal ever is Fried Crab Claws. He always orders them at restaurants whenever they’re on the menu. Kevin’s been in the hospital and is recovering at home; we weren’t able to go out for our anniversary, so I decided to bring the crab claws to him! :) It was my first time making them and they just turned out SO good and it was seriously the easiest thing I have ever made, I just had to share it with you all. I think this will become our new Special Occasion meal!! :)

This is all that was left after all was said and done:

Now, don’t hate me cause I don’t have a recipe posted for these yet. I’m still perfecting it, but it’s coming. I’ll definitely be making these again around Kevin’s birthday, so maybe I’ll post it then. ;) Keep checking back! :D

Thanks for looking! :)

The Beginning of Summer - Italian Grilled Chicken

Okay, so, it’s not really the beginning of summer, and there was frost on the ground this morning when I let the dogs out (but thank goodness it wasn’t snow like the weather channel called for) but it WAS warm enough to grill tonight so we had my favorite grilled chicken ever… And that’s good enough for me! :D

Click the pic below for the amazing, yet ridiculously simple recipe.

And don’t miss the Alfredo Tortellini recipe I posted yesterday. :D I think, for some reason, there was a glitch in my blog / email / webpage / something and the update emails never got sent out… If you got this one, leave a comment and let me know so I can rest assured everything is working properly again. :D

Thanks for looking! :)

    Take a peek inside my camera bag to see what equipment I use.


    Canon Rebel XTi




    Canon 50mm f/1.8

    *If you only get one lens, skip the kit lens and get this one!



    Canon 85mm f/1.8

    *My favorite lens, great for portraits



    Canon 70-200mm f/4.0L

    *My favorite for action shots, excellent image quality.



    Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8

    *My first lens, a good "general purpose" lens



    Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash

    *External bounce flash, no more harsh shadows!



    SanDisk Extreme III 4 GB CompactFlash Card

    *Always use a top of the line memory card for your camera. I have two of these- they're fast!



    Extra Battery for XTi

    *I couldn't live without an extra battery!



    Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson

    *If you want to improve your photography, I highly recommend reading this book from cover to cover. Real life analogies in the book made everything just *click*
