Adding Labels to our Posts

Yay!  I'm so excited for all the feedback I've received already!  This is going to be really fun and we can't wait to try all the new yummy recipes that all of you share!!!

REMINDER: When you create a post, will you make a "label" for it (at the bottom of the "New Post")... that way we can group all the recipes and they'll show up under "Our Yummy Recipes" on the sidebar!  (ie... Main Dishes, Desserts, Salads, Side Dishes, Breads.... etc!)

Thanks everyone!  Hope you enjoy!!!
