Free Online Recipe Features for Blogs

Over the past month we have added a number of improvements to the site, but with the holidays and just being busy haven’t had the chance to blog about them. With the new year we are starting fresh with this update on some of the new free features and improvements we have made for blogs and websites.

Why tools for blogs? Say Mmm is about making planning and grocery shopping easier for people, and by extending our tools to work on other sites, it’s a win-win-win situation. Bloggers can increase reader engagement with features that only bigger recipe sites have, Say Mmm gets more opportunities to show off its tools, and the blog readers and Say Mmm users get better ideas and easier ways to plan meals and shop for groceries.

Designed to be easy-to-use and flexible, the features work for different blogging platforms and websites without any installation. By using links with codes in them, similar to how Google Docs or YouTube work, bloggers can add dynamic printable grocery lists and printable recipes as easily as copying and pasting a link. This service is free for blog readers, who don’t even need to have a Say Mmm account to create, modify, and print these lists and recipes. It’s also free for bloggers to use these features on their site, and bloggers just need to have a free Say Mmm account to manage their recipe links and grocery lists and get the code they need.

Here is a quick overview of the blog features, and more information on each feature is available by following the links.  

Printable grocery lists for blogs – Allows readers to just click to view and print out an organized shopping list for one or more recipe. Many bloggers post weekly meal plans so we have added a new feature that lets you create a single link for a combined grocery list of recipes in the plan.

Easy recipe index – A recipe index is something every blog with recipes should have, but sometimes it can be hard to organize and update. With Say Mmm bloggers can easily categorize all their recipe links and generate an organized list of links that is easy to copy and paste into a blog page.

Printable recipe links – Some blog platforms don’t make printing individual posts easy, so bloggers can use the printable recipe feature to add a link to a printable version of the recipe.
