    Hi I found your recipe on yummly website, which I use all the time. I've tried several of y'all's recipes I've found there. I wanted to let you know the pop up to get your emails on this recipe is so big you can get to the "X" to get rid of it & you can't see the recipe because of it. I had to goggle to get it. Please reduce the size of that. I LOVE the great recipes there but the pop up email ads are driving people off. And for most recipes I wouldn't go through the trouble of googling. Thanks for taking care of this & y'all's great recipes!! Merry Christmas
