American Recipes, on USA.gov

American Recipes, on USA.gov – I ran across this site of what looks to be tasty recipes while taking a stab at compiling other government cooking sites. They’ve got links to heart healthy dishes, armed forces recipes cards and wild game recipes. If you try any of the recipes, let me know how they came out.

In the meantime, I’m going to try and find some time this week to try this:
