Hiya SME Folks.

It’s been about 6 or 7 months since I requested this last (here at SME) and surprisingly no one came forward to do a guest post. I run the Prairieland Food Blog and it is about cooking-food-recipes and volunteering.  

Do you eat?  Then you probably have recipes you like that you use often – we accept recipes and/or articles about cooking, food and saving money on your grocery bill. 

We will include a short bio and LINK TO YOUR BLOG in the article and if you are a chef, cookbook author, etc. and your blog is about food in general we may add a permanent link on the resources page.  You can reply in this thread for conversation about this offer – all exposure is good, eh?

Categories for this offer:  Cooking Food At Home  —  Recipes  

Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Hi Chef Ricky.

Good question on the copyright.  I’d say you still own the rights but for the most part, you wouldn’t be posting the same thing over and over, right?  Once something is posted at the PLF blog, I’d like to keep it there for future reference too. In other words, don’t send me an article and then in a couple of months decide you want me to take it down after I’ve already tweeted, FB, and G+ the thing. 

I’ll get back to you on the guidelines after I’ve perused your blog.  More discussion later.

@ccateringc

Forgot this:  You can submit an article or recipe at any time you wish – you’ll be sending them to ME to post at the blog.  There won’t be a specified section where you post though. 
 
The PLF blog is a casual atmosphere with home cooking tidbits and our audience, although very diverse, are mostly customers of PLF and Volunteers in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma.  

PLF is a discount food program for everyone, no income guidelines – the only requirement is that you are a volunteer, either in your community, church, school, college, club or other organization.  The median income of our audience is also very diverse.  From very low income to quite high income families and individuals.  Many of the customers travel extensively, but when at home, they contribute (and volunteer) their time to help others.  

PLF is a win/win situation but is only in our area – KS-NE-OK  - If you’d like more history, send me a PM. 

Again and for everyone submit articles/recipes to:  buddyservices, through gmail. Be sure to put PLF Blog Article/Recipe Submission in the subject line.

Hi Dea!  @deairby

WHY NOT?  I’d love to have yours and save the work in my own kitchen!  LOL

OK – I’m on it.  I’ll post the link here when I am done with the post.

Eileen

Hi Dea @deairby

Here is the link page with your link at the top:

@supereb Have you tried looking for guest bloggers at http://myblogguest.com? 

Hi Dea - @deairby  

Thanks so much for the original content!  

Folks – Dea sent me an original article and recipe to post before she posts it at her own blog — thought to share as it is very timely:

Pink Slaw For Beast Cancer Awareness

Thank you for the Pumpkin Cookies recipe and this “Pink Slaw” article/recipe Dea!  Very, very much appreciated!

Eileen

@supereb Not sure if you have one, but you could also have a Write for Us page  - something you link to in each of your posts and is clearly shown on the main menu so others who are fans will know you’re looking.

Hi Chef Ricky  @ccateringc  

Good Guidelines – I don’t particularly need original recipes that have not been posted on the web.  I will write something (very casual) to introduce the person and make a graphic that contains the recipe along with one or two links to your blog and also place your name and your blogs URL in the graphic. 

When someone copies the graphic to add to their cookbook notebook or box they’ll have your information there too.

Howdy Eileen,

I am in the process of adding some recipes to my blog site…Take into consideration my site is undergoing some changes, so you are welcome to use the recipes, but
you would need to just link in general to my home page, not the page thhe recipes are actually on, as the indexing may change.

I have a fascination with Crock Pot and cooking for my small family of 2 (Hubby and I as we are empty-nesters), BUT due to my mom’s recent stroke, I’m cooking for 4.

Maybe there will be something you can use!

Hi Aimee – @aimeewest

Great segments and YES – I’ll get with you soon on this.

Hi Kim – @kim-steadman

Love crock pot recipes – sure – I will use at least one of those.  Thanks for the offer.

HI Aimee @aimeewest  

Been pretty busy here too – I did look at your stuff and will use it and provide links.  I will send a PM soon!

I’m writing a series of articles for that blog now (in my ahem, spare time) and around D-Day I always have several I have to post (d-day this month is a week from this Saturday).  So next week I’ll be working on the newsletter again – it is a physical letter that goes out to all the Derby participants in the discount food program. Just one page front and back but we load it with info. 

Last month I included Dea’s Pumpkin Cookies in the newsletter – you can view it here — http://prairielandfood.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/11-2012-oct-derby-pdf.pdf

There are no guarantees that you will ever appear in the newsletter though as we keep it to the one page.

Hi @aimeewest  

We also had a death in the family this week – so baking and cooking has been where some of my time has gone (when I could have been sleeping).  That will all be over by next Tuesday so give me a little extra time – it may have to be the week after that. 

Can’t do anything about the personal interruptions – we all have that stuff happen to us and I hope you understand. 

Thanks — You might actually remind me in a week!

Eileen 

@supereb

Yes, I also had noticed this in the “How-to” section.

Unfortunately I do have a blog in Food niche. but that is in my local language & local food.

@kim-steadman @aimeewest @atlantarobin

Hello Ladies.

I’ve had a hard time getting back to this thread!  I need to get many things done this week (and the week is running out fast) on that blog so I’ll be in touch very soon.

Two new websites in the process so once again fitting in around that work. -:O
