The second news is a very important request I have for you. Every month there are more and more participants, which is fantastic! I love hosting this event every month, But that means that it’s more work for me to organize all the information. Which is no problem and I don’t mind. My request is to ask you to help make this easier and smoother for me. Please, please submit/email your information in the following way :

-Your Name
- Your Blog Name
- Name and link to your chosen recipe
- A small image of your dish. You must own the photo, and it cannot be a creative commons or public domain photo.
- Say whether you’d like to be included in the draw for the Honest Cooking feature. (Participation is optional, and open to those not currently contributing to Honest Cooking.)

If you fail to submit all the required information you risk not being included in the roundup. As you can imagine having to chase after or figure out the proper names and links for your posts is very time consuming. So please adhere to my request. Thank you guys! Now for all the newbies and those in need of a reminder here are the rules.

And these are the rest of the rules to participate in May’s YBR round up :
