I think being BellyBelly having pregnancy & baby/toddler recipes are a great idea... are there any special "conception" type recipes out there?? Maybe including one would be good... maybe just an oyster recipe or something including heaps of aphrodisiacs...

Oooooh, good idea Christy!!

And what about special diets that help you conceive a certain sex? (even though some say they dont work, its still fun trying!)

I agree with you Christy. BB being about pg, babies etc I think those recipes should come first.

Pregnancy Recipes
Baby/Toddler Recipes
Entrees
Mains
Desserts
Soups
Pastas
Vegetarian
Low Carb Recipes
Low GI Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes
Slow Cooker Recipes
Other

...sounds like a fairly suitable order.

both a printed option or ebook would be good to cover all price ranges.

Love the cover!

Oooooh I am not sure you guys understood me, sorry!!! I mean the order of preference of what recipes are most important to you - i.e. if I have to cut out or cut back on recipes, I will know what is least popular, and what is most popular, so I can include more of it. Does that make sense?! For example if you like low GI recipes, you would put that up the top, but if you dont like slow cooker recipes you put that down the bottom

I would love a book Kelly.... I need some good recipes. Maybe include some extra blank pages at the end so that we can add recipes to the book...ie print out off belly belly and add to the back. I find my biggest hassle is finding my select favourites in numerous publications but if I can stick and paste them in the back and have them in the one place that would be sooooo useful. I have no preference for what is included

I definately think that the baby and preganacy recipies should be included but I'm not sure that I agree that they come first.
For those members who have suffered a recent loss or dealing with LTTTC&AC it might be a bit confronting to open the book and have those recipies right at the front. I often flip through my recipie books when I need a bit of inspiration so i see alot more of the front pages than the later pages.
Maybe that's just me......

I would like an ebook - as i got a beautiful recipe book & cards from my SIL as a wedding present (of course, i haven't got around to printing any of them), and this way i could have it done ready for me

But i might be tempted to buy the bound book also, either for me or a present.


My order of pref is:

Vegetarian
Baby / Toddler Recipes
Soups
Slow Cooker Recipes
Low Carb Recipes
Mains
Desserts
Other
Pastas
Gluten Free Recipes
Entrees
Pregnancy Recipes
Low GI Recipes

Maybe in the other section you could have a range of recipes from different cultures that we don't normal see (not your typical stir fry being chinese kind of thing)... would love to try some more exotic recipes from people who can actually cook it and its not impossible kind of thing??

Looks good, the ebook option is good too. I think I would probably buy one but not much over $30

I'm another recipe book addict, so i'd definately buy the printed version i think.

Kell - will the recipes that are put in, include the names of the members who submitted them???

Great idea and would go with either format and have no preference for order. Anything to give me more food/dinner ideas is a winner with me and I think this recipe book would feel very special and be well-used.

Thanks for going to the effort and thinking of the idea and a big thank you to all the contributors.
