  1. I love the format of your page. It makes it so much easier to see the finished product with the recipe underneath. It saves so much time and effort to have everything easily accessible rather than having to click and wait to see the recipe. Besides, I like to be able to see the finished product as I am preparing it. Thank you so much for your foresight on this.
