DISCLAIMER: I have found these recipes from various sites on the web, different recipe books, and adjusted them that I DO NOT REMEMBER exactly where they came from. I did so much of this research years ago... I am NOT taking ANY credit for coming up with these on my own. If you DO know where one came from, feel free to post it in the comments below. Thanks!
