Create clean custom Yahoo Rss feed

Hello, I am wanting to use custom search rss feeds with yahoo for a recipe, whenever I try it, it always comes out strange. I have tried importing the built in yahoo recipe and just changing the feed, but that doesn't work. I have also tried just creating my own and using forcing it to replace the article with the print option, but it has so much extra junk in it. You don't see it on the website in print version, but when I look at the source there is an insane amount of stuff on the print version and all that gets transferred to the kindle. Any thoughts on how to get a stripped down one?

Here is the custom RSS feed that yahoo news gives for seeing the seahawks only:

Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Trying to convert a search to a recipe is probably never going to work well. The search sends you to multiple different sites. Each site has a different formatting, and each site needs to be handled differently by the recipe to not "come out strange". The recipe can't know in advance what to do with the different sites.
