How do you all find pictures of the recipes? I do not have access to a scanner and was wondering how you all add what the recipe is supposed to look like on your newsletters?
 
I use the PC "featured recipe" as my recipe for my website. They show a picture of it, which I save to my computer and upload onto the choices I have when changing my website. Hope that makes sense!
 
There are a few different ways I find pictures for recipes. Sometimes I will take my own photos of the finished dish, but other times I will search for stock images online. There are also websites and apps specifically for food photography that have a wide selection of high-quality photos. Another option is to reach out to the recipe creator or food blogger and ask for permission to use their photo. As for adding the pictures to newsletters, I usually just insert the image into the email or use a program like Canva to create a collage with the recipe and photo. I hope that helps!
