Hello all!

I came across some blogs while surfing through other Food Network users' food photos, and came across these:

Cheesy Spinach Macaroni (link)
Lemon Ricotta Souffles (link)

They both look divine. The latter link is an adaptation from another recipe. Here is the link to the original recipe:

Sweet Cheese Souffle with Compote of Cherries (link)

From skimming the ingredients, I think I have more of the original recipe's ingredients. I can't wait to try these out!!

Banana Crumb Muffins

Bonjour, bonjour, toute le monde!

Let me start off by saying that I actually took a photo for this recipe, Banana Crumb Muffins! Yay :) Actually, I baked mine in a loaf pan, so technically, it was banana bread, and also, I didn’t remember to take the photo until after cutting and eating a slice (whoops!). But a picture nonetheless, lol!

Anyway, please click here for the original recipe, courtesy of Allrecipes.com.

My modifications:
·  To compensate for using an 9-inch loaf pan, I baked mine for 45 minutes (without changing the oven temperature).
·  To cut down on calories, I did not make a crumb topping and reduced the sugar from 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup.
·  I used 1/3 cup white and 1/3 cup brown sugar instead of all white.
·  I used 3 extra-ripe bananas and blended them to save me a bit of work.
·  To give it a richer flavour, I added 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp nutmeg and 3/4 tsp cinnamon.

The result:
...was fantastic! I have made this numerous times, and it has never failed me. I really recommend this one if you love bananas! I'd love to hear how yours turned out, so please share :)

Peppered Shrimp Alfredo

Hello!

I made Peppered Shrimp Alfredo with some adjustments, and it was delicious! Please click here for the original recipe, from Allrecipes.com.

And here is what I did differently...

·  I halved the recipe.

·  I omitted the parsley, Romano cheese and mushrooms because I did them on hand.

·  Instead, I used approximately 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels. While it was cooking, the aroma the dish produced was amazing.

The end result was great and very flavourful. Also, the colour of the corn and the red peppers really added to the presentation. A simple recipe that I will definitely make again. Thanks for reading!
