I love your recipes! I’m wondering if you can fix your site’s print button so there isn’t so much blank page space. This worked better when I first began receiving your emails.
Thank you!

So, easy to prepare! Since I have had COVID, my sense of smell is not too good. But, I could truly smell this dish. We had steamed broccoli to accompany this dish.
This was so easy to fix and had delicious flavor!! My whole family, including two children, loved it and asked for the meal again! 🙂
