The problem with resizing in Skitch (or using the Skitch tools built into Evernote) is that you lose the original image data when you resize it. Once you've resized it in Skitch, you can't size it back up to the original size again. Most modern apps let you scale images inline, and that scaling is lossless. (See Microsoft Word, Apple Pages.)
Regardless, even the current scheme in Evernote is not WYSIWYG. Images that appear reasonably sized onscreen often turn huge when you try to print them. I have lots of images in my recipes, and I find I can't print them since the images take over the page when printed; sometimes they even tile on to other pages. Try it, the current scheme is a bit of a disaster.
I've resorted to putting just one image at then end of each recipe so that I can use the recipe and discard the image if I need to (the image almost always generate a page break and gets bopped to the next page.
Even BBCode allows you to change the size of an image without losing any data.
If by "annotating" you mean roundtripping to skitch to "reduce the size"
No need to use Skitch. You can do it all from with Evernote:
1. Click on the annotate button in the toolbar
2. In the popover that appears, click on the image you want to modify.
3. Click the crop button
4. Click the resize button
5. Drag the slider until you get the size you want.
6. Click apply.
7. Close the annotation window
You now have a resized image which can be printed on a single page.

Took some notes for the birth preparedness class my wife and I took. Wrote some text, snapped some pix, all within evernote. Cool! Wife asks for a printout of the notes to keep in a binder to take with us to hospital. No Problem!
I've struggled with this as well. I have hundreds of recipes in Evernote with lots of images, and printing is so far from WYSIWYG that it's laughable. I've optimized my notes for onscreen/web viewing and given up on printing for the time being.

Look at Post #161 above. It explains exactly what you're describing.
