(So, why do we link to recipes directions with a “click here” instead of simply having them on this page?  Simply stated, the directions are the copyrighted work of somebody else.  It’s simply good online etiquette to link to the directions and give the proper person credit.  We hope the extra step of clicking is not too much of a hindrance!)
