New Features To Dirty Martini

Brine — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 01:46:19 +0000

Today I added a new feature to the website. I am not completely done but hope to be by the end of the weekend. The new feature is being able to search for recipes based on Weight Watchers Points Values!

You will see a new section to the right with the points listed. Each one is a link to all the recipes with that points value.

One change that this does require… is that if you post a new recipe, you need to select the point value & recipes in the Category box on the right hand side of your screen when you are composing the post.

Thanks for all your help keeping the recipes going & for graciously dealing with my Obsessive Compulsive Issues! The more bells & whistles I add to the site, the easier it will be for all of us to use!

Yea! I’m finally on!

Hi, Aimee and my other WW friends! You’ve joined the Dallas//Metroplex Thread that I started and I’m joining the entire site that you started! Bravo for knowing how to do this, Aimee! I look foward to trying many of these great recipes. That layered salad that I posted a few weeks back may need to be added to your achives, as it is so yummy–especially in the summer.

I Have Wanted To Do This For Months

I have wanted to create us a website for months, and for some reason about 1130pm last night seemed like the time to do it. I have been sending out recipes and info since January, but always felt bad when I added a new person to the email list that they didn’t get all the emails at the beginning. If there was only a way to put all the recipes in one place for people to get as they pleased.

Necessity is the mother of all invention, especially when you have OCD and are a little bit of a perfectionist.

Anyway, over the next few days, I’m going to work, during my free time, on posting all the recipes on the blog here. Feel free to post any others you would like. You can also post on our Community Board that you posted a recipe on our site to come check out. This way, the recipes will always be quick to find.

I may even post some non-WW recipes from culinary school that I loved for those special occasions when we are feeding people other than our Point Conscious selves.

Now that I finally have our website up, my next project is to create one for my fellow Chiarians in the DFW Metroplex.

Welcome WW Friends. After a group of us met at the Galleria for lunch last week, the thought of creating a single webpage and blog where we can go, post recipes, food finds, WI celebrations, and many other things popped into my brain.

Well, here it is. Please register and you will be able to post to this blog. If you have any questions, please contact me at aimee (at) thestolenolive (dot) net.
