Hello everyone. I have a website, which you can
view here. There, I post many recipes, along with other things.
Right now, the original categories that remain are in this order:
Breakfast
Lunch/Dinner
Sandwiches, Wraps, and Tortillas
Soups and Stews
Snacks and Sides
Salads
Spreads, Sauces, and Dressings
Seasonings
Desserts
Beverages
All these are sub-menus under the "recipe" category on the menu.
Now, I have some recipes in more than one category (isn't that strange?). I have biscuits in both as snacks and sides and for breakfast. I want to post bread, and would probably end up sticking it in the sandwiches category.
That doesn't make much sense, does it? And what about people who want to find something like a loaf or a casserole, they would have to search through the lunch/dinner to find it. And vegan cheeses are in the spreads, sauces, and dressings. Does that make sense? And where am I supposed to put something like a pizza crust with just those categories?
So, I'm thinking about different categories. I'm not sure what I should do.
Should I separate them by the type of food. For example:
Italian
Asian
Indian
All-American
Mexican
Etc...
Even though they're all Americanized foods...
Or should I separate them as such...
Loafs
Casseroles
Biscuits
Breads
Pies
Fruit Salads
Salads
Etc
Or should I separate them as such:
Veggies
Fruit
Grains
Etc...
And if I break them down like the latter, should I still have a category for soups, and have something like "veggies" under a bigger category like "entrees"?
What kind of changes would you like to see? How do you search for recipes? Do you recommend something different from what I suggest? If I do break down into different categories, should I specifically do so for main dishes and keep the lunch/dinner category, or change it to entrees or something? What would you recommend? Also, should I break down desserts into categories, like pies, cookies, etc?
I'd like to be better organized. Please and thank you for your suggestions.
