Now, I am no genius, I am not really sure what a site map does, why you need it or why anyone would care. I have ideas, but I am not sure. I do know, this is a site about recipes and I am using my site map as a way for you to know what each little page is about before you visit. The recipes are ones I have found in tin recipe boxes. I have collected these recipes for quite sometime now. I find them everywhere, at auctions, flea markets, on line auctions and from my relative's kitchens. They are offered here for free.
