A Gathering of Links and recipes #5

Here are some new recipes that I have tried the last two weeks:

White Chocolate Panna Cottoa with Raspberry coulis. This was a sweet but yummy dessert. I would recommend small servings sizes as it is pretty sweet. This recipe is also very easy to make.

Cream Cheese Stuffed, Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos. These are also very easy to make and super addictive. A tip that my wife learned the hard way is to make sure you use rubber gloves when cleaning and touching the Jalapeños :)

Risotto with Asparagus from the Food Network website

Banana Oat muffins from Gordon Ramsay

Enjoy!
