Get your posts featured on Food

Do you want to be a food blogger? Great, I want you to be one too! I'm on the lookout for strong user posts and getting featured on Shine is easy.

I feature user posts that:
  • Are well written.
  • Have been checked for proper spelling and grammar.
  • Offer delicious recipes, useful food tips, refreshing trends or include funny food musings.
  • Include tested, safe, and yummy recipes.
  • Include photos.
  • Say something new or refreshing.
  • Are written in lowercase, regular font, and use tags.
I don't feature user posts that:
  • Are advertisements or spam.
  • Are only one sentence (unless it's paired with a cute or crazy photo - like the egg burger.
  • Tease the user. Linking off is fine and grand but the post should be meaty on its own.


FAQS:
How do I create a blog?
Visit the Shine blogging help page here.
If I get featured, where will people see my blog?
We may feature you on the Shine homepage, in the featured boxes, on the featured roll, on pick of the day or you may even end up on the homepage of Yahoo!

I can't wait to read your blog! Do you have an amazing pitch or question? Go here and let me know what's up!

    Any ideas for a good bake sale goodie recipe? I'd like something out of the ordinary that can be wrapped individually. Something other than chocolate chip cookies or brownies! I need to make 2 dozen.

    For the bake sale, try making Surprise Muffins. You fill the muffin tin sections with half the batter, add a teaspoon of jam or jelly then top with the rest of the batter. Add chopped nuts or crumb topping and bake. It's a bit different and you can vary them with different flavors. OR bake a cinnamon streusel coffee cake, top with peeled chopped apples, then wrap individual slices. Or use a banana bread recipe and vary with zucchini or add pumpkin.

    I'm interested in real recipes. My son is bored with the current recipes. I have one great recipe from an Air Force brat. It is easy and tasty and good for company. It sounds like Air Force food already.

    Inebriated Schoolgirl?

    My eldest, she doesn't particularly love to eat breakfast. My mom gave me the fantastic advice to make her a smoothie daily. Great idea, I make smoothies pretty much daily (yogurt, fruit, juice) and it solved the problem. Yea! I also partake of the morning boost and I find it quite rewarding to blend up that daily shake and toss my kids a vitamin, knowing they will go to school nourished.

    Soooo...yesterday, I blended up my daily concoction and left the kitchen to perform some mundane morning ritual, leaving my daughter to drink her shake in peace. When I came upstairs again, she informed me that it was an extra delicious smoothie today. I informed her that it must have been the perfectly ripe bananas. I grabbed my smoothie and took a swig just as she sucked up the last sip through her straw...hmmm.... interesting flavor, zesty, sparkly. Sparkly? Why? Orange-banana-strawberry juice, banana, fat free yogurt, frozen berries...there's no sparkle. I checked the expiration on the juice (June 12), I opened it up, tasted it. OOOh yes, sparkly, bad sparkly, fermented sparkly. "See you mom," as she bolts out the door.

    AAAAAgh! I just sent my daughter to school possibly inebriated? Either that or she is going to have a really bad bout of food poisoning in a couple of hours. Well I didn't get the call that she was sick so I figure that she had an extra special "happy" day yesterday. I wonder if the teachers noticed?

    Sunrise Smoothie...Vodka optional

    SUNRISE SMOOTHIE- Vodka Optional

    1 1/2 cup frozen strawberries

    1 cup orange or pineapple juice

    1 bananna

    1/2 cup yogurt

    3 1/2 ounces soft or silken tofu

    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Make the Smoothie: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse to chop everything up. Flip the switch to high and blend until smooth.

These days it's hard to tell the difference between a chef, a celebrity and a restaurateur. So many actors are now clad in Crocks, critiquing foie gras, sharing family flan recipes or opening Hollywood hot spots.
