Hi. I'm Camille. My sisters and I started a blog 7 years ago. Before we started blogging, we were constantly calling each other for recipe ideas, craft projects, and ways to keep our children entertained during those long winter days. The blog was the perfect way for us to share those ideas with each other and we fell in love with blogging.
​We told our friends and family about our little blog and slowly found more and more people were visiting it each day. We started doing research and discovered that we could turn this blog into something more . . . something bigger than we ever could have dreamed.
We now have over 3 million people visit our blog each month.
(That's me on the left)
In the past 5 years, we have taken this hobby and turned it into a full-time income for all six of the sisters, and a handful of employees who help behind the scenes. Blogging and social media have opened up a whole new world of opportunity and now we are going to share the secrets to our success with you. If you have ever wanted to start a blog, now is the time!
Why a food blog, and why now?
Not everyone watches kittens on Youtube, but everyone needs to eat.
The food industry in the US is estimated at $1.46 trillion (usda.gov/topics/food-markets-prices) so it is no surprise that online food services is one of the biggest Internet categories. Over 450 million daily inquiries are food related (www.internetlivestats.com/google-search-statistics/).
More and more people are using the Internet to get food related information. By following the simple steps that we share in our e-book "How to Turn Your Recipes into Cash" you can have a money-making food blog today. Now is the perfect time to start because MyRecipeMagic has just launched a program to guide you through the whole process!
We also created a platform that will send new people to your blog.

DUBLIN CODDLE
Dublin Coddle is great served with the typical Irish Brown bread. Dublin Coddle is Irish comfort food at its best. It is probably one of those dishes that came about as a way to use leftovers. Europeans are known for their frugality. There is really no set recipe per se. Case in point, I like to add carrots to my recipe because I happen to love these orange tubers, I can't get enough of them! Because it is slow cooked Dublin Coddle is a perfect candidate for the crock-pot.
