I’m thankful for your recipes. I’m diabetic and am always searching for the next great low carb ideas. You’re good at this. A big thank you and happy 18th. I hope I help the algorithms.

In reply to Kalyn Denny. Kalyn, I have been following you since I retired in Feb, 2010. Have made many, many of your yummy recipes for family & friends & was always complimented . . . I did give you credit! I most certainly will rate your recipes with stars. Thanks again for your time, effort, research & your witty commentaries. Love you, Meg

In reply to Maureen. Hi Maureen, Thanks for being a long-time supporter. I won't say it has been easy to keep the site always evolving (and sometimes I feel like I am NOT keeping up with the younger bloggers at all) but I do think it has helped keep my brain active in my "retirement" years. Yes, giving a 5-star rating is SO helpful. Google includes those ratings and how many ratings a recipe has in search results, and I think they also give priority to recipes with better ratings (although of course, no one really knows how the google search rankings work, we can only guess!) I appreciate all the help I can get, thank you!

Congratulations on so many years as a successful blogger! I think I found you close to the start of your blogging journey and have been a happy email subscriber since then. Your healthy recipes are always in my wheelhouse, and many have become family favorites that I’ve made over and over.

While I’m here, I want to credit the way you have evolved your site. It’s so easy to search and find what I’m looking for, and I’m often amazed at how thorough you are in offering directions for stove-top, instapot, crockpot, etc. etc. Your preparation notes and photos are always clear, helpful and friendly!

As others have posted, I’m happy to be more interactive with feedback. Quick question: does the 5-star rating on recipes found on your website help with your request? I never think to do this, but I will going forward.
