How can I save these recipes so I can find them later. I do not do Pinterest, Twitter, and the others, and I cannot cut and paste them into my other recipe folders. The food looks great and I’d love to save the recipes. Thank you.
You could bookmark the recipes in your browser or copy and paste them into a text document. There is also a print button on the recipes to print them. I am working on adding a recipe box feature that will allow you to save your favourite recipes to a recipe box on my site.
I highly recommend the AnyList app for desktop and IOS. They both allow you to import most recipes directly from the web and then sort them into categories. You can use them to create lists of any thing you need. Check it out! Been using it for about 3 years now.
Thanks!! Cheryl!!!

One of the options suggests that you can use all ground spices to make things easier. Is a tablespoon of cumin seeds and a tablespoon of coriander seeds equal to a tablespoon each of the ground spice?
Thanks!
One tablespoon each of the ground spice works perfectly! EnjoY!
