Sweet friends!
I’m just popping in today for two seconds with something new because I ♡ you (too much? too soon?) and I want to make Pinch of Yum the most awesom-est place possible for you.
Would you take five minutes, or uhh 2m 37s, if you’re speedy fast like me, and answer these ten questions?
I will be forever indebted to you in cookies.
If You’re On Mobile, Click Here. Survey Is Now Closed.
FYI, this is anonymous – I will have no way of knowing who you are when you answer these questions. But the information we gather will help us know what kind of people are reading Pinch of Yum and what you all like or don’t like about the site.
And that will help us make Pinch of Yum a happy, relevant, valuable food place on the interwebs.
High five. Fist bump. Makin the pizzas dance.
THANK YOU! You deserve a cookie.
An overview of results will be shared in the income report this weekend if you want to check back!
I will say that I started reading your site bc of the income reports, but all of the food looks amazing! I have only started following within the past couple weeks so I still have recipes to get caught up on and also to check out in the future. You guys are great!
Hi guys! I like a good quiz, they’re kind of fun as long as you aren’t going to grade it. And I really hope it’s Annonymous. Just kidding. I trust you guys.
Thanks Erin! Appreciate that!
We love POY! This website has encouraged me to try healthier foods and recipes I never would have otherwise. My biggest challenge is not having some of the ingredients you use, so that sometimes limits me. I love your simple yet healthy recipes I can follow along with and make. I have learned a ton about cooking from POY and am very grateful. POY continues to stretch my kitchen skills. Keep up the great work! POY is my favorite food related website in the world!
Thanks Tyler! Er, Heidi? I always get so confused by the pictures. What does Oscar want to see on POY? Love you guys!
I have been following you for over a year and a half and LOVE getting your posts!! I can’t think of anything you should do differently….the only thing I would suggest would be more detailed pics of the steps you take while making the recipe. I love you taste in food & enjoy getting to know you through your posts. Thank you & keep up the great work!! 😉

Thanks Deb! Nice to hear from you!
Survey complete! You guys ROCK. Just seeing the words, Pinch of Yum Cookbook (in print) makes me all giddy inside!!! 🙂
I know. Gasp. A cookbook in print are my favorite kinds of books 🙂
haha – and made me get a nervous stomachache. Just kidding – I think it would be so fun if and when the time was right!
P.S. These cookies look really really good. Recipe?
Not Without Salt Cookie Mix! Google it! Buy, buy, buy.
Done.
And you’re not allowed to post cookie photos without a recipe 😛
But you can buy them as a mix! Is that better or worse? 🙂 It’s Not Without Salt’s cookie mix!
You guys are great, and I really enjoy reading your posts. I’m curious to see what feedback you receive, and if people generally like reading what you write in addition to getting the recipes. Our blog is a longer format, and we are newbies so I look forward to reading your survey results! Also, yes I would like this recipe. I see sea salt!
Hey Allison! Thanks for the comments! We’ll share more about the results in the next (April) income report!
Your cookbook sounds great – where do you purchase it? Bea
I think your blog is amazing. I couldnt even tell you that is missing this or that. I believe your photos are amazing and thats one reason why people keep coming back.
Oh my word these cookies look amazing! Is the recipe on the blog?! If not, will you please share!!
I love the pics and recipes, sometimes I dont have all the things to make them,
like rice wraps for the spring rolls, I live way up in the UP of Mi and
I have to travel down for an hour and 20 min to get to a decent store
that has such luxuries lol
thank you for all the great food you give us!!
I agree with the others looking for this cookie recipe! Oh, and I took the survey also.
Nailed it!! I am feeling an A+ coming on!! Love the site, the images and the recipes, of course. Just made the chicken/mango with teriyaki sauce made from dates and it was…de-lish-us!! The hubby even approved (I didn’t tell him what was in it…). I meant to add in my suggestions that I would love it if your site had an app for my iPhone. The emails are great…but to have the recipes easily found via an app…A-MAZ-ing.
So glad! And love the app idea! Thanks Meghan!
Great survey questions. I hope the answers help.
And all of sudden I find myself doing the makin-the-pizza-dance. At the office. With no music. It’s a good thing I’m the only one here today.
Laughing out loud.
Forgot to put this in the survey but LOVE that the nutrition information is listed for each recipe, I don’t see that on a lot of blogs/websites.
I agree! Forgot to include that in my survey too
Thanks Cynthia! nice to hear that!
I already took the survey and THEN remembered what I wanted to say… so if I’m shooting for the moon, here ya go: site navigation that allows you to select ingredients you have / want to cook with and it filters to those recipes. (obviously you couldn’t get too crazy with the number of ingredient options but…) or maybe instead the filter is time required or difficulty level?
Love that idea! We’ll save it for our next redesign (coming soon)! Thanks Kate!
Yes! Still in the 25-35 category
Hahaha! 🙂
Is anybody else suddenly getting auto-start video ads on Pinch of Yum?? I thought they didn’t even make those anymore! But…a blast of sound while I’m in a quite place “working” is no bueno! Could it be my settings? Can I ban video ads?
I think it was mentioned in the last income report post that they switched ad companies. I despise auto-start ads but every site has them now. It is the most awful thing ever which is why I am reading more and more on my phone and iPad. (Bjork – take note of this). I use Chrome browser and there is a setting you can choose to turn off auto-start but it will do that for every video you watch. Whcih can deter You Tube un;ess you give it an extra click. But worth it IMO..
Ugh, drives me NUTS. We are working on getting rid of them but sometimes it takes a while to identify the ads, communicate with the network, etc. Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to shoot me an email if you see one and maybe even take a screen shot to show us – that helps us identify where they’re coming from and stop them!
Fun survey! I’ve been wanting to do one for for my blog!

So I did finally do the survey – and have thought of a couple of things I’d like to see. When I print recipes I would like the number of servings included and also the nutrition information. Thanks.
Thanks Susan! Appreciate the feedback!
Done! 🙂 So nice of you to actually care and put into consideration what your readers actually think! My fave thing about pinch of yum is definitely that connection, and of course, your amazing food photography! ;D
Thanks Chelsea! We love hearing from readers so really appreciate you taking the time!
Since you guys are awesome at what you do, we’ve just completed your survey!
Took the survey. Your photographs are simple and beautiful, which keep me coming back. What’s the cookie recipe? Those look yummy.
Hi Faye! Those are from Not Without Salt – she sells her cookies as a mix! It’s delicious!
I found out about you guys from Pat Flynn’s podcast. I checked your blog and fell in love with it right away. Delicious recipes, stunning photography and, oh my gosh! income reports. I am a blogger too, and you can’t imagine how valuable your MIR are. I never count other people’s money but I study them because there’s so much to learn from them. Guys, I appreciate you both and what you do! Not only for this blog and your followers, but also for the less fortunate people in the world! Blessings!
Thanks Anna! Nice to hear from you!
