Recipes On Lavender And Lime
When I started blogging, I used WordPress.com which did not allow for a recipe plugin. I had seen that a lot of the bloggers used ZipList and so when I migrated to WordPress.org I installed the ZipList plugin. This allowed my readers to save my recipes to their own recipe box that they had created on the ZipList website. The process has been slow as I have had to enter all my recipes into ZipList and I am sure I have not done them all. I have been working through my recipes when I have the time to change them all into ZipList. And now, ZipList has shut down! As of December 10th, ZipList will no longer be supporting the recipe box and shopping list platform including the ZipList recipe box and shopping list on ZipList.com, the ZipList app, the recipe clipper, and their partner recipe boxes and shopping lists. For those of you who use ZipList you will have had an email to this effect.
It does not affect the actual recipes on my site that I have entered into ZipList but because they have decided to shut down I have installed Easy Recipe as the plugin of choice for Lavender and Lime. I decided to go with the version that I have paid for which means at least from the front end you will see all my recipes in the same format. However, there is still work to do from the back end and slowly but surely I will be updating all of my recipes. If you see blank cooking times you will know it is still the ZipList recipe. I don’t ever include these in my recipes as I multi task and never time myself doing one recipe as I make several at a time.
The great thing about Easy Recipe is that I don’t have to retype (or copy and paste) the recipe, and they show a photograph in the recipe itself. Easy Recipe have also added in a new ‘save’ feature so that you can continue to save, print and bookmark recipes to make.
With that said and done, I want to wish each and every one of you an amazing 2015! Thank you for being such a fantastic part of my blog.
I am on leave until the 8th of January. I will start replying to blog comments then.

Not nice, Tandy, sorry this happened to you!
Have a wonderful 2015 filled with love, joy and peace and smooth technical sailing!

What a bugger! I haven’t even installed a recipe plug in yet, since I migrated from Blogger so I guess it won’t be Ziplist. How annoying. The maintenance never stops does it? Have a great NYE Tandy and here’s to a hassle free and fun 2015!
Thanks, and the same wishes to you!
Wishing you and Dave a happy and safe New Year and look forward to seeing what you are going to be serving us in 2015.
Thank you Rachel 🙂
