  Hi there!

  You should be able to convert your recipes to the “Recipe” format by entering the shortcode as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/recipes/

  To demonstrate, I converted your recipe for “Meatless Monday – Avocado Toast with Coconut ‘Bacon'” to that format as demonstrated here:

  

  When I click “Print” at the top of the recipe, I’m given the entire recipe to print as demonstrated here:

  

  To do this, I just pasted your content between the following tags:

  [recipe title="Meatless Monday - Avocado Toast with Coconut 'Bacon'" servings="4-6" time="2hr 30mins" difficulty="easy"]
  
  [/recipe]

  Does that make sense? Can you give that a try and let me know if it works for you?

  Hi there!

  I wanted to check back in as I never heard back from you regarding the recipe shortcode. I don’t see the shortcode in use on your site. Were you able to get this to work? Just a note, for the best results, you’ll need to enter the code in the Text Editor.
