First week back to school is chaos. The stress. Blood pressure rising by the minute. Having freezer meals that you actually look forward too, priceless. Now I just gotta get the Yak out of my freezer to make room. Yes, a kindhearted friend of ours gave us Yak meat. I’m scared to eat Yak meat!!!!! I had to google what a Yak even was!!!!! Karen — September 17, 2018 @ 8:46 AM Reply Anyone know where to buy those itsy-bitsy pepperonis in Toronto, Canada? Bonnie — September 16, 2018 @ 11:09 AM Reply I have 2 problems with printing out your recipes. First, the right side is cut off and I have to write in the instructions that don’t print. Second, could you some how compress it into one page for the recipes that only have a few instructions on the second page? I don’t know if other people have the same problems but there are only 2 sites that I visit with this issue. Otherwise I love your recipes. I also live alone and wonder if you could create some recipes for 2 to 4 people. Chungah @ Damn Delicious — September 16, 2018 @ 4:00 PM Reply Bonnie, have you tried to print the printer-friendly version of each recipe? It is in a PDF-format that is compressed into 1-2 pages. 🙂 Marie Beers — September 17, 2018 @ 1:11 AM Reply Yes Bonnie, this happens often to me! Aside from the price of ink and paper (not as bad) I copy from the “print page” and paste into a blank document . Sometimes I can even reduce the size of the picture or sometimes I can’t transfer the picture at all. That doesn’t bother me so much though. I manage to get it all on one page. I will remove things that are not necessary (like the word directions or ingredients) or take out a lot of extra spaces or even calorie/nutrition notes. After all do we need the nutritional value of Bacon wrapped Tater Bombs? Leigh Marr — September 4, 2018 @ 4:51 PM Reply Your recipes are out of the world. First place I look for ideas! Ca”k m. Jessica — October 1, 2014 @ 1:09 PM Reply These all look so delicious.I’ve actually made a TON of your recipes that you post – and I’ll definitely be trying a few of these.

Chungah — September 29, 2014 @ 1:28 PM Reply That would be my heaven! Although portion control would play a major role here – it’s all about sampling everything!
