Mom's Recipes

A place for mom to keep and share all her recipes 🥘. To use the site, you just need to know how to do three things:

1. ✍️ create a new recipe,
2. 📲 publish a recipe,
3. 🖋 and edit or delete a recipe.

Below is how to do each of those in 5 steps (and a markdown cheatsheet for mom 😗).

Create a new recipe

1. Go to the recipes folder. All recipes are stored here.
2. At the top right, click on Add file > Create new file.
3. At the top, enter the name of the dish then .md to say you're making a markdown file. (For example, shepards-pie.md. Make sure there are no spaces).
4. As you're writing the recipe, check the Preview tab to see roughly how the recipe will look.
5. Click Commit new file at the bottom. (Don't fill out the two text boxes above this button because they are optional).

Publish a recipe

1. Go to the recipes folder.
2. Click on the published recipes file published_recipes.md
3. Click on the pencil ✏️ at the top right to edit.
4. When adding a new recipe, follow this template (The ID must be the same as the recipe's file name. If the file is named shepards-pie.md, the ID must be shepards-pie. If you don't want tags, don't include the entire third line):

# Shepard's Pie
- id: shepards-pie
- tags: veggie, vegan, pie, gluten free

5. Click Commit changes to save.

Edit or delete recipe

1. Go to the recipes folder.
2. Click on a recipe.
3. Click on the pencil ✏️ at the top right to edit or click on the trash can 🗑 to delete.
4. Hit Commit changes at the bottom to confirm the changes.
5. If you deleted a recipe, go back to the published recipes file and delete the recipe.
