Revisiting My Old Recipes

When I look back at some of my original posts / recipes, it makes me feel quite nostalgic. In just two years, my recipes have become more involved and focused on flavours and techniques. My photography has also improved significantly as I've  learned the importance of a good camera and proper staging / lighting.

With these new and improved skills, I thought it would be super fun to revisit some of my older recipes and put them to the test! In the coming weeks, I'll be retesting some of my favourite recipes from the beginning of my blog to ensure they are written perfectly and in doing so, I'll be able to update some of the photography as well. It's a win win!

​Here are 5 of my original recipes that I'll be revisiting and updating in the coming weeks!

​CREAMY WARM CORN CHOWDER

One of my original soups, this corn chowder was absolutely delicious. Beautiful in its simplicity, it was such a delightful soup to eat and the jalapeno peppers provided such a welcome heat. Corn and spicy flavours really go hand in hand in my opinion, they create a perfect spicy cool contrast that makes the soup so wonderful. I can't wait to revisit this recipe, test it, and take some much needed new photos!

CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Guacamole is actually a specialty of mine. It's something that I thoroughly enjoy preparing and eating and often use it as my go to dish when hanging with friends. It's delicious and quite nutritious as well! 
My recipe is bang on but the photography is very sad, so I'll be revisiting this one and updating everything for you guys!

BRUSCHETTA

Who doesn't love bruschetta? Crispy bread with a vibrant and cool tomato salad topping, divine! Bruschetta is such a simple appetizer to make and everyone loves it so having a good recipe for it is key!
I'll be revisiting this recipe and making sure that not only is it written well, but that the pictures truly reflect the beauty of the dish. I can't wait to update this one!

​MEXI TORTILLA TARTS

Little tort cups filled with creamy refried beans, cheese, and mexican rice. Such a delicious meal and absolutely simple to make. The problem? The pictures leave much to be desired! 
I can't wait to revisit this one and update the photos giving y'all something to drool over!

RICOTTA SPINACH LASAGNE ROLLUPS

This dish was one of my mother's specialties. Growing up, it was such a treat to enjoy these rollups and as kids, this was probably one of our favourite meals.
I recreated the dish and it was absolutely delicious. Creamy ricotta and spinach rolled up in lasagne noodles and baked under a layer of cheese and tomato sauce. So delicious, I can't wait to revisit this one and update the photography!
