I will try to post pictures of what the recipes look like once I have made them myself. That feature is in the works... My memory cards are both completely full with family pictures right now. I have to clear them out and/or get a new memory card. So, stay tuned for pictures! :)

Go try this or make something special of your own! Let me know how it goes!
