You are amazing. I have tried several recipes and love them. You take a lot of time explaining why you need to buy certain things for the recipe, certain steps you need to take BUT those beginning notes are not printable.
Aww bless you! Thank you so much for your kind words Lisa. Alas, the “print recipe” button only applies to the recipe card – my apologies! If you want to print the entire post, you may need to click “Print” from your browser. I hope this helps!
