If you cook and haven’t been on Yummly yet, you need to check it out!
Yummly is a Pinterest-type hub specifically for recipes. You can add recipes to your “Recipe Box” that are already on Yummly or you can add recipes you find on the internet. And setting up an account is easy as you can link through your Facebook, Google or by e-mail.
There are a few different ways to add recipes to your Recipe Box on Yummly:
- On Beyond Mommying, you simply click the red “Y” at the bottom of each post (by the rest of the social share buttons) and add it to your Recipe Box.
- You can visit your favorite blogger pages on Yummly like Beyond Mommying’s and “Yum” their recipes.
- Search or a specific type of recipe and “Yum” whatever you’d like to save.
- Browse through recommended recipes. When you set up your account, Yummly automatically offers suggested recipes which you can “Yum” and save or mark “Not Interested.”
When you “Yum” a recipe, you can select which “Collection” to place it in, much like the boards on Pinterest. You can select one of the collections pre-set by Yummy or create your own by going to the “Collections” tab at the top.
Yummly also offers an awesome and easy to use app for iPhone, iPad and Android. I find this feature especially helpful because I usually use my iPad for recipes when in the kitchen rather than lugging my laptop in there and taking up tons of counter space! And with the Yummly app, all your favorite recipes go with you wherever you are.
When you set up your Yummly app, it will take you through a series of questions designed to help Yummly hand pick recipes to fit your tastes a lifestyle which is really great if you have a restricted diet (or a child who does!)
Keep checking up on Beyond Mommying on Yummly as over the next few weeks I’ll be working on updating and adding all my recipes! Or you can view all my recipes here and add them yourself (using that awesome Yummly button at the bottom of each post!)
Great first timers guide to Yummly! It is by far my favorite recipe site now. It’s so easy to use and because it aggregates so much, you always find what you are looking for!
So true, Catrina! I love how they cater your results to your individual dietary needs, I don’t have time to sift through 500 recipes to find one my son can have!
