Hi Shane, Can’t you give these recipes/meals in an easy to print booklet format? I love them but would prefer printing it and keeping it in the kitchen for quick and easy use?
You know, that’s a great idea! Give me some time to think on it and how to make it happen.
Hi Lesley,
I put all of Shane’s recipes in my “Paprika” app. Then I have them on my phone or iPad to use in the kitchen. It allows me to check off ingredients, scale the recipes, and make edits. Very easy to add new recipes. There are other recipe apps out there, too.
