New Recipe Fridays

I love good food!  Who doesn't?  I tend to lean towards Asian cuisine but I love just about everything. I read A LOT of recipes.  Books, Pinterest, Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.  It's just so awesome that you can practically search any food and get a recipe for it.  There's just no reason to say you can't cook because all the resources are available, it just depends on your determination to learn.  Lol  I know it's not easy but like anything, it's a work in progress.  I like to compare recipes and/or combine the ideas and put my own twist to it.  Actually, in most cases I get so impatient following recipes that I tend to just do whatever.  Sometimes it turns out good but other times not.  Lol When people ask me for the recipe for something I've made, I always emphasize that I don't have an exact measurement.  I used to cook without tasting my food and quickly realized that was wrong.  Haha!  So now, I season and taste as I cook.  With all these delicious looking recipes easily available, I want to keep track of what I try and document my reviews every Friday - New Recipe Fridays.  At some point, I will be searching for these recipes again and who knows how many there will be after a year or so.  ;)

Mac 'n Cheese

Dinner last night was Mac and Cheese!  I don't usually follow a recipe to the T but I wanted to try Guy Fieri's version of this dish.  The only ingredient I changed was the type of pasta.  It called for penne but we opted for elbow macaroni. It had really good reviews and I have to agree.  It was delicious!  Seasoning was perfect and I loved the taste of the blend of cheeses.  I think I'm going to use his recipe as my base and then just change up the different types of cheese next time.  Hubby and the kids loved it so that's all that matters.  ;)
