Optimize your recipes for search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo by including 
microformatting tags to the HTML.  There are some WordPress plugins that offer this feature, 
and we would recommend 
hRecipe
as being the cleanest and most helpful.  If you aren't on WordPress, 
you can use our 
SEO for Recipes page to format your 
recipes as well as include a grocery list.
These tools will help you with optimizing the recipe text itself, and there are more things
you can do to help your blog do better in search results. Google has a good 
article here on 
the things they look for in websites.
