Today is the second day of the Holiday Recipe Drive. Good luck submitting recipes. Here is a little guide to help you get some quality Real Food recipe ideas. Your recipes do not have to fit this convention; just some suggestions.

Title

Specificity:

‘Soaked Flour Biscuit Recipe’ not ‘Biscuit Recipe’

• Homemade…Recipe
• Fermented…Recipe

• Paleo…Recipe

Examples:

• Soaked Flour Cupcake Recipe

• Fermented Barley Water Recipe
• GAPS Blueberry Pie Recipe
• GAPS Turkey Enchilada Recipe

Description

What makes your pumpkin pie special? Why should I use your recipe and not the others? Don’t just tell us how much your husband loves it. This data gets sent to the search engines and social media outlets when your recipe is shared. The description should attract the attention of the audience.

Photo

Pictures can show up in search engines, on Facebook and obviously on Pinterest. Try to have a picture whenever possible. The better your photo, the more likely people will look at your recipe—and more importantly, the more likely they will make your recipe in their own kitchen.
