I loved this so much that I shared it with 2 of my sisters who have freeze dryers. They both made it, too, and loved it.
It looks like the only way to print recipes is to download them first. Is there a way to just print from the site?

Hi Judy. You either have to download the PDF and print or you can also highlight the recipe on the page and print that way. It won’t be as pretty that way but should get the job done.
