You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.
Also! You can't trust internet recipes anymore! TWICE in the past year (a lemon meringue pie and a key lime pie) I have found recipes that LOOKED perfectly good but didn't work in practice because the instructions were AI slop. If you've never baked the recipe, it is very easy to not know that the recipe is trash, especially since the reviews and comments are easy to fabricate.
