Today's Recipes

Here are a couple of recipes I am in the process of making today for dinner. If you click on the title of the recipe it will link you to the original recipe, but I will put the recipe as I made it on this blog and let you know what I thought of how I made it and then you can try for yourself whichever way you choose.
