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.
