Never lose a recipe again! 🥘


Hi Reader-

I have a quick "techy" tip today that is actually going to make your life in the kitchen a whole lot easier 🤓

Have you ever searched for a recipe on Google, only to be buried in a mountain of results that aren't quite what you’re looking for? Or a bunch of sites that don't even look legit? (me too)

Google has a new feature that lets you pick your "Preferred Sources."

Basically, it’s a way for you to tell Google: "Hey, I know and trust Melissa’s recipes. Whenever I’m looking for dinner ideas, show me Persnickety Plates first!"

⭐ Add Persnickety Plates to your Google Favorites

It takes 2 seconds and helps you find my recipes first!

It's quick & helps both of us!

How to do it:

  1. Click here (this takes you to your Google Search preferences).
  2. You’ll see Persnickety Plates listed.
  3. Just click the "Add" or plus (+) button next to my site.

That’s it!

Now, the next time you’re searching for "Slow Cooker Steak Bites" or "Brownies," Google will make sure my versions are right at the top of your list.

Thank you so much for being a part of this community and for trusting me with your dinner table and special occasions. It is an honor 🫶🏼
