Hello! Does anyone have any good recipies for preparing liver?? Thanks!
Kelley,
Here’s one: http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2010/02/i-ate-liver-loved-it-oh-yes-i-did-so-did-our-teenager-he-hadnt-a-clue.html
Here’s one more: http://kellythekitchenkop.com/2009/05/how-to-sneak-liver-onto-your-dinner-table-guest-post-from-katie-at-kitchen-stewardship.html
Just FYI – your spanish rice recipe link goes to a pork loin recipe, not the spanish rice recipe… I noticed it in today’s post on mexican foods and came here to find the actual recipe, but this link is wrong too!
Thank you for telling me!!! That’s what I get for working too late. I’ll go fix them now.
OK it’s fixed now, thanks again!
