Why am I asking you to donate?

I started this food blog almost 3 years ago. Since then I have had to spend all money out of pocket to run the website and have not made a dime off of it.  Keeping up this website costs money and if I really want to make it great I should be spending much more.  Most food bloggers have invested in fancy photography equipment such as digital cameras, backdrops & lighting. I have been using my phone.

With more funds available I could also acquire a better hosting service which will help with my ranking and speed.

Plans for the future and benefits to you

The hope is to keep this going and continue to share these great recipes that I develop with my readers.  I hope to be able to purchase software that will remember ingredients and affiliate links.  I am truly hoping to roll out recipes much more often and making things quicker and easier for me to post will definitely help with that.

Things on the horizon:

• Nutrition Information
• Adjustable Servings
• Unit Conversion
• More Recipes
• Equipment Reviews
• Restaurant Reviews
• Better Images

Recipes continue to come to you ad-free!

Don’t you hate when you click on a blog and you have to search to find the actual content between all the ads?  I know I do.  You try scrolling down and accidentally hit an add. Who has the time or patience for that? Your donation will help me to keep the blog free of annoying advertisements.

Helping the community at a coffee shop.

If you saw my TV Interview you will see that I host a bi-weekly WordPress Coffee Klatch for bloggers and developers.   I’m providing a space for others in the community to learn blogging and development and its free to attend and held at The Grind Coffee House & Roaster.

If you’ve enjoyed my recipes please consider donating to Real Recipes and More. Whatever you can afford will be much appreciated.  First on the list when I get enough money in donations is going to be the software that I plan to purchase. Thank you!
