Your Best Recipe, a monthly roundup of your best recipes hosted by Spicie Foodie. There are no limitations as to what you can submit, anything goes. No limits on your kitchen nor photography skill, everyone is invited to join. This is not a competition, it is just a showcase of great food being cooked all over the world.  And here is how you can participate :

Requirements to participate:
1. It has to be a recipe that you published the month of the roundup, and it has to be a recipe that you feel was your favorite one posted that month. It can be anything your heart desires. Your submitted recipe can be your own creation or one that you adapted from another foodie, just give them credit on your post.

2. Sign up to each or any monthly roundup you choose to participate by leaving a comment telling us you will be joining the YBR event. You can signup on the particular month’s signup post. Look for them the last week of each month.

3. You must choose and display any of the following badges to invite your visitors to the roundup being hosted here. The button/badge must stay on your blog, either on the sidebar or submitted post. Your submitted links and photos aren’t deleted a few days after or once you have stopped participating in the YBR. It is only fair that if there is a link back to you one should be sent back to the event. Please do not add the button/badge to your blog for a few days or weeks and then take it down. I do double check that participants has added a button/badge to their blog. Those that ignore the rules will be removed from the roundups.

The badge below, you can add a small thumb of your dish. If you need help or would like the PSD file just shoot me an email, or read the tutorial here YBR Badge Tutorial (how to insert your photo) . Some participants like to use this badge below on a new blog post inviting their readers to see the roundup. You can wait until I have posted the roundup to get the link for it.

This small button can be added to a post and/or your blog’s side bar.

4. Each month you will need to please email me at spiciefoodie (@) gmail.com the following in this exact format: (If you fail to do so, you risk not being included in the monthly roundup)

- Your Name
- Your Blog Name
- Name of your best/chosen recipe
- Link to your best/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 non-contributors for Honest Cooking.)

On the last day of the month I will post the roundup photos with a link to each of your sites and recipes. It would also be good if you invite your readers to the roundup by also posting a new blog entry (the last day of the month or after) on your blogs with a YBR badge and a link to the roundup here on Spicie Foodie. This way we can all help spread the YBR submitted love around even more!

If you need any help or clarifications post a comment on the announcement post or send me an email. I am really excited to see all of your submissions, it will be a feast for our eyes! Help me spread the word and tell all of your foodie friends, thanks.
