I should note two things: 1) these recipes were recommended but if you have a better/easier/alternate recipe, do share! 2) the pics don't necessarily correspond with the recipe because of legal rights and stuff. Yay laws!

For what it is worth, I happen to lean heavily on the How to Cook Everything app on my old phone which now lives in the kitchen. Highly recommended!
