How to post to certain pages

I have a blog with many pages, and I can’t seem to figure out how to put certain posts to certain pages. Such as a recipe on the “Recipe” tab and so forth. The blog I need help with is embraceithoney.wordpress.com

Technically you can’t post to more than one page on any blog but do read on. Static Pages and dynamic Category Pages are not the same. The former cannot automatically update but the latter do.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/If you want to have pages that do update then they must be replaced by dynamic category pages (and sub-category pages) that will automatically update every time you publish a post assigned to the relevant category and/or sub-category.
By default the front page of the blog is the post that displays all posts in your blog. Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can create a custom menu and add the dynamic categories and sub-categories pages into the custom menu, and order them as you wish.

So, if I want the home page to have every post, but yet tie it to another page, it only appears that way, correct? I tried setting up my categories and that didn’t tie them together. I am wondering if I set it up wrong. I have been trying to get a post under a page since November 8th but cant seem to get it. Is there just a button or something easier to click, or since my categories aren’t tying them together its more difficult?

This is the URL of a static page that will never every automatically update https://embraceithoney.wordpress.com/recipes/
Note this example of the same thing here:

That is a static page that I update manually.Here is an example of the URL for a dynamic category page that will automatically update. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/category/basic-blogging/
There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/ and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

Okay, so if I’m understanding correctly, which I hope I am. I should set up a custom menu with my categories. Then when I want a post to go to a certain page on the menu, I will click the category before I click ‘publish’ and it should go to that page?
