Are you a blogger? We would love to have you link up your recipes!
- You can link up to 5 recipes from your blog each week.
- If you have more than 1 recipe site; up to 5 from each site is great.
- Recipe Posts only please – no other link parties, crafts, travel, shops, promotional posts, etc.
- Recipe Roundups are fine, especially if they coordinate with special days of the month!
- Be sure to click the “Follow host to get notified for new link parties” box after adding your links!
- In order to be eligible for the “recipe with the most clicks” or “recipe that caught our attention” each week, you must have a sentence similar to “This recipe has been shared in Weekly Recipe Swap (make the link no-follow). Head on over to this site for lots of new recipes each week!”
What we ask from you when you link up your recipes
Give the Recipe Swap a share in your Email newsletter, Facebook group, Instagram, Twitter; wherever you can. That gets more eyes on your recipes and the whole group.
By linking up, you are giving us permission to use one photo from your recipe post with the link to your site if your recipe is featured. You must have copyrights to all of the photos within your recipe posts that you are adding here.
Free Printables to Help with Menu Planning
Now that you have all of these fantastic recipes at your fingertips for your menu planning, you are well on your way!
To help with organizing them, I have made 3 free printable menu planners.
Two are monthly with room for at least dinners; or one to two more meals if you write small. One of them includes extra lines to the side for grocery lists, notes for the next month or whatever else you need.
The other is a weekly planner with 3 sections per day to plan out every meal.
Feel free to print one or all 3! They will be included each week with the Weekly Recipe Swap post.

Are you following me on Pinterest? I have been working very hard making new boards I think you will love and am adding dozens of new pins from all of the popular homeschooling websites!
Come join us on our Facebook group, Loving Homeschool. I am adding daily pictures, links and much more than I would on the blogs and it is a place for you to find support from others on the same journey as you are. Come and share with others, ask questions and learn! And if you love recipes, follow my Best Recipes You Will Want To Make group on Facebook! Feel free to share your own favorites and find many new ones there!
I enjoy offering free printables and resources to bless my readers. Your frequent visits to my blog and purchases through affiliate links and ads keep the lights on so to speak. Thank you!
**Please note there will not be a Weekly Recipe Swap next week since it is right between Christmas and New Year. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
