As I was researching some of the many other wonderful websites out there, trying to decide exactly what direction I want my website to go, I found it easy to want to add lots of other features and areas of expertise. Never mind the fact that I may not be an expert in any of these areas, but like so many of the rest of us, I want to be. Eventually.
The main purposes of this website are:
- Recipe repository
- Accessible Meal Plans
- Dietary plan variations
So for now, I find that I need to define what I want my site to be, and what it can provide to others. First and foremost, I want my website to be a recipe treasury for me; a place where I can quickly and easily find my favorite recipes. Secondly, I want my meal plans to be readily accessible so I can know at a quick glance what’s for dinner tonight or breakfast tomorrow, whether I am at home getting ready for the day, or out running errands. Thirdly, I want to be able to quickly locate my favorite resources as I plan, create, and adapt meals for my family. I have a dairy free requirement, and the Paleo eating plan works well for me, while my daughters have decided to become vegetarians. Making both of those work together is a bigger challenge than I am up to facing most days.
While there are many lifestyles challenges I would like to include – exercise, house cleaning plans, and home organization – those will just have to wait as I focus on my initial priorities.
