The internet recipe dilema

So I saw the dish on Pinterest (weenie.com; I wish I could give the URL but Pinterest blocks me every time I try to copy it so log in or go to my page and you will find it there).I taught I should try it out since I like to cook everything I see that looks interesting and will change the routine. I took the ingredients list and went grocery shopping I had trouble finding some of the things because I didn't know what they were( I’m a Portuguese speaker so sometimes I don’t know what some words mean). I managed to get all the ingredients except the jalapenos because I didn't want it to be spicy and I couldn't find it. I got home and started preparing the food I changed some of it because it needed to be appealing to me and my family. So I followed all the steps and I noticed that I couldn't only wrap 2 slices of bacon on each chicken breast so, I added more to cover all the chicken breast left. I added peppers and baking cream because the cream cheese and cheddar cheese mixture was too heavy. Here is my problem, every time I take a recipe from the internet I have to change something even if it is a cake (I have to change the measures) because if I follow it 100% it won’t be good. I don’t know if I do it wrong or something. Moving on, I added peppers and I put it on the oven and I left it there for 25 min. when I took it off I wasn't nothing like the picture, it tasted good but it didn't look the same. I always thought in my mind that they Photoshop the things they put on the internet or on TV. However, you should try it. Its really good and healthy, I ate it with side salad and fried banana.
