Recipe Ring Samples                

These are sample recipies from Recipe Ring #1. Each Recipe Ring contain about fifty recipies of family favorites that have been converted to be as healthy as possible. There are no recipes for tofu - sprout - surprise because that is not what normal families eat. Occationaly, someone will look at a recipe and remark that their family would never eat this because they don't like rasins or sunflower seeds, etc.. The answer is simple - just leave them out or substitute something they like to eat.
