that's correct the pop ups do keep this free for us. There are some darn good recipes here have done quite a few over the years. The pop up blocker does stop most of them. But for these recipes the annoying ads still make it worth it for me.Try watching the food network Canada, ya get 15 mins of the show & a commercial what seems like every other sentence.

Why are all the recipes high in salt. Seems like everyone has tomatoes, and I can't eat tomatoes.
