It does not print out easily with all sorts of other junk in there. I refuse to use the site that does not allow me to print the recipe out so that I can make it and review it without looking at all the friggin adds.

Try printing the actual recipe card. There's a print button right above the card and it will print without the ads. The ads are what enable me to continue to offer free recipes.
