Hi Kate,
I’m a big fan of your healthy banana bread recipe (heck, all of your recipes for that matter!) which inspired me to create an altered version. Of course I linked the post back to your original recipe and stated that my inspiration came from your recipe – I hope this is ok? :)
Here is the post: https://hannahandfitness.com/2017/02/05/the-best-healthy-banana-bread/
Thanks! Hannah x

Thanks!

Amy, thank you so much for promoting my recipe/blog. Your CSA sounds like a wonderful program!

I loved your Winter Apple Slaw recipe. Here is the link to my blog’s promotion of your recipe. I used my own photo that I took after making the recipe. http://dcwellnessscout.com/?p=2403
Cate
Hi Kate
In Crete we traditionally always bake with olive oil – we do have rather a lot of it! I love your recipe for Olive Oil, Lemon and Rosemary shortbread, a winning combination. Having baked it I’ve shared it on our Facebook page and Twitter, obviously crediting you with a link to your site. Hope that’s ok. You can see it here http://on.fb.me/1az6agR.
Have only just discovered your lovely site and look forward to a lot more exploring.
Kate
Cate, thank you for sharing! I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies.
Tina
Hi Kate,
I love your site! I shared a link to your green goddess hummus recipe in mine. I hope this is ok. If not, please let me know. I’m new to blogging and want to do the right thing. Here’s the link: http://radiantbloom.net/?p=34
I make many of your recipes at home on a regular basis. My freezer is usually stocked with your sweet potato black bean veggie burgers.
Kate
Hey Tina, yes, you did the right thing! You’re always welcome to link to my site! (I don’t know any blogger who wouldn’t want you to link to their site, btw.) Your hummus looks fantastic!
Amy
Kate,
We’d like to include your Autumn Kale Salad with Fennel, Honeycrisp and Goat Cheese in our Healthy Eating in All Stages of Pregnancy class. Do we need permission to print and distribute copies to class participants and, if we do, how do we get permission?
It’s a GREAT recipe!
Amy
Kate
Hi Amy! I’m so sorry I didn’t see your question sooner. I am fine with you printing the recipe for educational purposes. Please be sure to credit my website for the recipe!
Jaime
Hello! I just wanted to let you know I plan to share your whole grain pumpkin waffle and easy gluten free waffle recipes as part of a post on my site. I used one picture and linked to both the recipes and your home page. I believe I followed your policy. I haven’t publicized the post yet, but you can see it here: http://thewellnesshq.com/my-fav-pancake-and-waffle-recipes/. Let me know if you have any concerns. Thank you for the recipes! We love them!
Kate
Thanks, Jaime! Love your post!
Jackie
I made your butternut quash vegan chili and loved it, so did my granddaughter she is vegan. I tried to print the recipe but could not! Is this something that we can’t do ?
Kate
Hi Jackie! I’m so glad you two enjoyed the chili. I’m sorry you had trouble printing the recipe. I don’t recommend printing from my website like you do other websites (by going to file > print). Instead, look for the little print icon to the right of the recipe title. Then you’ll be able to print just the recipe!
Shamira West
Hi Kate! I featured a recipe on my blog, but adhered to your policies! I used my own photos, because I had the opportunity to make your recipe myself! It was so good and I really wanted to share it. I just spoke about how much i loved how simple the recipe was etc. I hope that is okay!

We included it here in our curated list of 10 Easy Work Lunches For The Newbie Vegetarian http://www.thegoinggreencouple.com/10-easy-work-lunches-newbie-vegetarian/ and we of course prominently linked to your site.

Nikki, Choosing Differently
Hi Kate,
I was looking for healthy recipes using broccoli the other day, and found your amazing Greek Broccoli Salad. (I love the photo of Cookie with the broccoli stalk – it’s my favourite part too!)
I wanted to let you know that I shared a link to your recipe in an article on my site about the top anti-cancer foods (one of which is broccoli).
You can see the article here:
https://choosingdifferently.com/article/anti-cancer-foods/#broccoli
And I followed your “one photo with link” rule as outlined above.
Thanks for all of your great recipes.
Nikki
Christine Birnbaum
I was looking for quick pickling recipes as part of the Food in Jars April Challenge and came across your spicy pickled radish recipe. An extra plus was that used honey (that’s how I found your site initially; made your banana bread recipe using honey last week and it was excellent). So easy to make and the color of the product was incredible; and it tasted wonderful.
Here’s a link to the FB Food in Jars Community site where I posted a link to your recipe. https://www.facebook.com/groups/FoodinJarsCommunity/
Hope to make the pickled cauliflower recipe next. Love the look and feel of your site as well as all of the tips for creating a site. Thanks!
Christine
Kate
Thanks so much, Christine, and thanks so much for sharing!
Andrea Christian Parks, MD/MBA
I put a link on my blog from your advice on how to best make quinoa light and fluffy – I’ve tried your way and it works wonderfully! I made sure to site you as the author and did not put the actual recipe on my site, just a link to your website for the recipe. It’s on ajourneytowholeness.com under Eating Green and will go live on 4/28/17. Thanks for your wonderful recipes!
Andrea
Kate
Thank you for letting me know, Andrea, and for including me in your post! I appreciate the support. :)
Carol
Hello Kate,
Just a short note to tell you – I LOVE YOUR RECIPES. I have two copies of your new cook book. One to remain perfect. The other is already getting splashed and “gooped-up” while I try your recipes. Ha, ha – is “gooped-up” even a real word???
Thank you so much for coming into my life.
Kindness regards,
Carol
Kate
It’s a word now! And that’s a great idea–I always sauce up my cookbook pages, too. I’m so glad you found my blog, and that you love the book, too!

Hi Kate,

Leanne
Hi Kate,
My name is Leanne and I have a food blog called Crumb Top Baking. I just wanted to let you know that I recently posted a recipe for 5-Minute Red Pepper Arugula Hummus that was inspired by your recipe for Green Goddess Hummus. I stated in my post that your recipe was the inspiration and I provided links to both your recipe post and your cookbook. I hope that’s okay. You can view my post at http://www.crumbtopbaking.com/5-minute-red-pepper-arugula-hummus/
Also, I just wanted to say that I’m loving your cookbook! Your recipes for Honey Whole Wheat Pizza Dough and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are now staples in our house!
All the best,
Leanne
Adrienne
Hi Kate,
I create a monthly newsletter with information for women in high performance work environments about building a better brain and a better life. I like to include fun facts, and among others, this month I decided to include the research linking maple syrup to prevent cell clumping in the brain that leads to dementia. So… what do you put maple syrup on? Pancakes of course. And given that so many people benefit from a gluten-free diet, I’m going to include the picture plus a link to your recipe for pumpkin spice pancakes. Just wanted to let you know and say thank you for the great recipes you create!
Cheers,
Adrienne

The Cinnamon Toast Quinoa so good!!!! I love quinoa anyway, but this is yummy …and so simple that I had to share your website w/friends on fb. I did not print recipe…just title…and where interested ones could find it and YOU!!! I hope this was all OK!!! I plan to follow your lead as I want healthier style of eating. I was a vegan for 5 years and veghead for 10!!! I moved closer to family some time back and adopted some not-so-healthy habits!! Thank u. ]
Kate
I’m happy you like it! And yes, totally ok to share on Facebook. I appreciate the support. If you would want to leave a star review since you liked it so much, that would be great! Thank you, Kate.

EW
Wanted to let you know that Hallmark Channel has posted an almost identical version of your Spinach Artichoke Enchiladas. The instructions are different (and they suggest using “your favorite enchilada sauce”) but the filling ingredients are basically identical. Not sure if this is a violation or not just wanted to give you a heads up just in case. http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/home-and-family/recipes/artichoke-enchiladas
Kate
Thank you, EW for sharing. I will take a look.
Earlyne Wiebe
Hi Cookieandkate! Just made your ‘Best Vegetable Lasagna ‘ oh my! My husband who is a meat n potatoes kinda guy had two helpings. It was so so good. I grated the carrots and zucchini and added chopped mushrooms. I will make this recipe again for sure. Love your recipes, can’t wait to make more. I give it 5 stars ⭐️
Thanks!
Earlyne Wiebe
Kate
Thank you!
Adrianne Delgado
Hi Kate,
I am a dietitian and HUGE fan of your work. I direct patients all of the time to your website. I recently wrote a book about healthier eating and would like to include 5 star recipes at the end of each lesson (I call them 5 stars because 5 out of 5 of my kids will eat them). I have a few favorites from your website and cookbook that I would love to share but I realize you have strict policies. Is there a way I can get your name and work out to more people without violating your policies? Thanks so much for your help.
Kate
Hi Adrianne! I’m so happy to hear that you are loving my recipes and sharing them with your clients. Unfortunately, my content is copyrighted and I just get far too many requests. You can share a link to the recipe, but that’s it. Here is more on my policy: https://cookieandkate.com/cookie-and-kates-photo-and-recipe-policy/
Suki
Hi Kate! I originally found your website while Googling vegan lentil soup recipes. Yours was/is delicious!! (I add some mashed yams or sweet potatoes to my version wh I think enhances the flavors.)
BUT I wanted to share an idea I came up with that you might find useful. I make a lot of burritos and one day decided to cook them in our panini maker. They turned out great! Crispy w/o frying and wonderful w a good green sauce, some yogurt or sour cream and other fresh veggies on top.
Thanks for all your creativity and healthy recipes!
Suki
Raquel
Hello!
I featured your scrambled eggs w/goat cheese in a blog post that went live today. I followed your policy, but wanted to let you know! Here’s the link
Kate
Thanks for the highlight, Raquel! I will have to take a look.

Hi. You might want to check sevenoaksmums [dot] com – they have copied your Healthy Banana Bread recipe in full, including image.
Arjun
Hi Kate,
I would like to use your recipe and one picture on my blog linking back to your blog. Is that Okay ?
Best regards,
Arjun
Kate
Hello, Unfortunately I get far too many requests for you to share my recipe itself. You can post one picture and directly link to the blog, but not the recipe itself.
Mike
Your website looks great but I will not be using it because of your Cookie policy. Many websites will allow the reader to opt out of Ad cookies with one click. Unless I am missing something yours requires far too much ‘opting out’ of numerous Ad services and there are no instructions about how to do that. It would take ages anyway and requires clicking on an Ad services website. As a sign of respect to your readers please change your cookie preferences service. Thanks, Mike
Anna
Hello, first of all, congratulations on your all the great recipes you share with the world.
I’ve recently mentioned one of your recipes (+ photo) as a great healthy option to bring to the office.
You can find it here: https://www.annadetails.com/lunch-ideas-to-bring-to-the-office.
I think I’ve followed all the rules above, but feel free to let me know if you need me to change something.
Robin Pritchard
Hi Kate, My daughter asked me to buy her your cookbook as a Christmas gift. Then after tasting so many of your delicious recipes she bought me the book the following Christmas.
I went to make the Moroccan Butternut, Chickpea, and Couscous Stew for a friend and I. I didn’t have couscous so I used Whole Foods Super Grains(blend of organic white & red quinoa,millet & buckwheat).
Oh my gosh the soup was so delicious. I don’t think I will ever make it with couscous(sorry). I have made many of the recipes, all delicious!
Kate
I’m so happy you are loving it, Robin! Thank you for taking the time to review.

Hello Kate,
I love your web site! It is clean and very organize. I was wondering about the blogging publishing platform you are using. I know it is not WordPress.
Thanks for sharing the information.
God bless

Hi Betty! Thank you. It is actually Word Press. :) I just have done a lot of my own customization.

I will only every link to your website and will never take credit for any of your recipes. I just want to share the amazing work you’re doing over here :)
I hope that is ok, and I’m excited to connect with you!
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Celina Rosa
Hello Kate,
I have just recently found your blog & could not be happier! I’ve been on my own journey of healing my relationship with food, and by following some of you recipes, I have found it much easier & much more enjoyable! So I thank you for that!
I do have a blog of my own where I share advice, stories, and experiences to inspire others down their own path of creating & living the best life they possibly can, and recently credited and linked your blog page (specifically your about page) to one of my posts, where I talk about how to find inspiration for eating seasonally.
I credited you as one of my main inspirations!
I just wanted to let you know, and once again thank you for your creativity & content.
I will leave the link to my blog down below if you would like to check it out!
Thank you again!
Best,
Celina Rosa

I found your site a year ago and am now vegetarian. My son live 6 hours away and we FaceTime while we both cook from your amazing cookbook! He appreciates your note on how to make your recipes vegan. Looking forward to your next cookbook!
Kate
That sounds like a great idea! I love that you do that with your son. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Jula
Hey Katie,
Just working on my round-up post. As mentioned yesterday already I loved to add your recipe post (1 pic) to my round-up post. :)
What is your policy on adding your pics to collage-pins for interest and social media?
I assume that’s not okay, right?
Do you also mind when people add 1 pic of different of your posts?
E.G. 1 picture from per post, (and then another picture from another post)
I rather check beforehand with you xx Lots of love, Jula
Kate
Hi Jula, sorry for my delay. As long as it’s one photo, with credit and link to the recipe without sharing the recipe itself, that’s fien.
Paul Gallo
Hey Kate
Granola came out great ! Followed your directions the 1st time around. The 2nd time I added every nut and seed I could find . Pure maple syrup and coconut oil is the secret. I’m a 70 year old man , if I can do it ….. thanks Kate … give Cookie a treat for me
Kate
You’re welcome, Paul!
