Carrot Cream Cheese Muffins
Luscious, chewy muffins filled with a walnut cream cheese filling. I got this recipe from my fiend Anna when I went to the U.S. for the first time. It 's grrrrrreat ! Enjoy !
Lemon Cheese Cake
This lemon cheese cake recipe isn't made with cheese — it is a layer cake that's filled with a tangy homemade lemon curd (which is another name for lemon cheese). If you like, use your favorite scratch recipe for the cake, but I usually like to simplify all I can.
Shrimp and Corn Chowder
This shrimp and corn chowder is spot on with a sweet balanced cream base that doesn't overshadow the delicate little shrimp. Adding potatoes bulks up the meal and is an ode to classic chowders.
