    Have tried many of your recipes, and love just about all! Thank you for sharing :-)!
    I would like to comment, however, on your website…it’s not very user friendly. I know PopUp ads are necessary, but the ones on your website take up 1/2 the page. Makes it difficult to see what I’m looking at, and to get the recipe…can only read about an inch of directions at a time.
