    The recipes look great! The PBR ads that cover up the pictures while you are trying to look at them are super irritating!

    I love your recipes. I also love that, when you do a recipe roundup like this, you include a picture of each item. It helps me to decide which links I’d like to follow through. Thank you for the great recipes.
