  1. Recipe sounds great but you make it impossible to print out which as annoying AF, to be frank. I was interested in other recipes but that fact that your web site is so not user friendly is discouraging.

    1. Hi Jeri,
      I’m sorry you had trouble finding the print option. It is in the recipe card just above the ingredients. I will send you an email with a screenshot and the direct link to the printable recipe card.
