Re) KittenLangley's post on 5-25-2011. Yea, this works if the photo title & the recipie title are the same thing. But I wanted to see the recipie for Mushroom Chicken (the photo title). The teal colored link had Ft. Bragg Chicken. So I didn't know if when I clicked that I would get the recipie for Mushroom Chicken or not. Different titles make it way way too confusing. BHG editors are need to be on the ball & check for clarity before putting this on the website. C. Dorr, Minneapolis, MN.

Agree with other comments...takes too much time to downloading each recipe. Would love to look through the recipes, but your site is very slow. And having a thumbnail view of all the recipes in the category would be really helpful!

Is there any way to view your recipes without having to sit through the 30-35 picture slideshow? I don't have time to view all the recipes in the slideshow if I'm looking for a simple chicken recipe.
