    Just another vote to please make the pic’s ckickable, or at least labeled, or do pic then link, something.

    Love the recipes and appreciate the round up! Have you ever thought of doing a holiday meal plan round-up? I mean, something so that you can reuse the same ingredients across dishes or like the online book with like a “buy these groceries and you can make all the things!” Also would be really helpful.

    P.S. bought your book and loved it!!!
