I was wondering where I would start a thread for exchanging recipes. I just recently got into cooking and I'm looking for some ideas to try and I have a couple of my own that I would be willing to share. Just wanted to ask where I would start the thread.
Thank you.

Great cajun seasoning - butter, cayenne, paprika, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, some sugar

I like eating this with shrimp.

I tried to mimic the cajun seasoning i had at a chain called the Boiling Crab.

I actually have a recipe down for cajun seasoning... but mine doesn't have the pepper, sugar or butter in it. Pepper and me tend to not get along very well. But, I never thought sugar could be put in cajun seasoning. I will have to try that out. About how much sugar should be put in?
Thank you very much for sharing ^.^

If you cook, mixing salt with sugar instead of just using salt will make whatever you're cooking more tasty. Just don't overdo the sugar. I always just add in like 1-2 small dashes of sugar whenever I use salt.

I will put that down in my notebook next to my cajun seasoning recipe. Thank you for the tip. I'll have to use that when I make the Chiken Fajita Alfredo next time.

Sneaking back into here after being away for so long razz

Anyway, here's a good recipe to try out. Hope you all like it if you attempt it wink


Butternut Squash Macaroni & Cheese

What You Need

3 cups cubed peeled butternut squash (about one 1-lb squash)
1 1/4 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fat-free Greek yogurt
1 1/4 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
1 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
1/4 finely grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
1 pound uncooked cavatappi
Cooking spray
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

What To Do!

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine squash, broth, milk, and garlic in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat.

Place the hot squash mixture in a blender. Add salt, pepper, and Greek yogurt. Remove the center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Place blended squash mixture in a bowl; stir in Gruyère, pecorino Romano, and 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano. Stir until combined.

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain well. Add pasta to squash mixture, and stir until combined. Spread mixture evenly into a 13x9 inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add panko, and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the hot pasta mixture.

Bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
