Well, me too...though it might not look like much of a life!
Misti, I'm sorry that it seems too strict. We try to do whatever we can to make the forum feel as comfortable and stress-free for the members as possible. When members find a recipe they are really excited about, but can't tell how many people it will feed, or an ingredient mentioned in the directions isn't in the ingredient list, etc., it can make for a lot of frustration. (Especially if you figure this out after you've printed it and decided on it for dinner, like I've done with recipes from other sites!
)
This deal with the recipes isn't meant to be strict at all. It's just much easier for us to look at the recipes when they come in than to have to search all the forums every day for any recipes that might have problems or wait to hear from a member that they're frustrated. It shouldn't mean more work for you, but it means less work for us.
Nutritional information is really helpful for everyone, but some recipes just don't have it, and we don't expect you to go hunting for it just to share a great recipe. Just make sure it has a serving size...if it doesn't but you've made it, try to approximate. It's awful to make something that you think will feed six only to find out that it feeds 2.
Thanks, Beachies! You make this job so much fun!
