Friday Recipes
It's Friday, time to get ready for the weekend. And if you're in an area that follows Daylight saving time, it's that time of spring again when we'll move the clocks forward. (Remember the old ditty of "spring forward, fall back".)
There was one newscaster in the Tampa Bay area of Florida who would get up at 2:00 a.m. during the time change - both spring and fall - to set his clocks to the appropriate time. He has since retired, but he was beloved by coworkers and viewers to the point that his coworkers are known to mention him during the days leading up to each time change.
Anyway, here are today's six recipes to help you through the weekend, including Colorful Turkey Stuffed Peppers and Chocolate Filled Cake Roll. Enjoy!
