It rained all last week. All. Week. Long… it rained. It’s bad enough that we can’t see each other except over social media and webex or zoom, but then to be stuck inside because of the rain… it’s practically torture. Who am I kidding? It is torture. Is anyone else out there dying for social… Continue reading Roasted Mushroom Risotto

Pumpkin Risotto
Everywhere I look these days there are pumpkins. Pumpkin patches on every corner and piles of pumpkins in all the super markets. Halloween is a week away and people are buying pumpkins to decorate their tables and porches. But pumpkins are for more than mere decoration. Pumpkins are also for eating and now is the… Continue reading Pumpkin Risotto
Lemon Ricotta Risotto
I love lemons. Lemonade, lemon cake, lemon bars… Anything that’s made with lemon, I’m in, and that’s perfect because we’re right in the middle of lemon season. But even better than being the middle of lemon season, we’re smack dab in the middle of Meyer Lemon season. Meyer lemons are unlike the more popular Eureka… Continue reading Lemon Ricotta Risotto
Carrot Orzotto
It’s October and here in the South Bay that means cool breezes and chilly temperatures. I’ve even started wearing long pants and pulled out the occasional sweater. When that happens, it’s time to start rethinking dinner options; and some of my favorites are hearty stews and rich pastas. One of my favorite pasta dinners is… Continue reading Carrot Orzotto
Green Vegetable Risotto
Comfort food. It’s one of my favorite things, especially when the days get cold. I mean, there’s just nothing better on a chilly, rainy evening than a hot bowl of stew or a big pot of macaroni and cheese. One of my favorite entreés during these winter months is risotto. It’s rich and creamy and… Continue reading Green Vegetable Risotto
Baked Risotto with Sausage
Now that the holidays are over, we’re all focused on eating healthier, less fattening foods. It’s actually the number one new year’s resolution. Well, the number one new year’s resolution is to lose weight, but that usually involves eating healthier so it all kind of goes together. Unfortunately that means no cakes or cookies or… Continue reading Baked Risotto with Sausage
Smoked Fish Risotto
I’ve talked about Hubs fishing excursions in the past, and how they’ve always made for great dinner options. Well, his most recent outing was no different. He came home with tons of fish, and while we used plenty of it, this recipe didn’t use any that Hubs actually caught. See, a friend that went on… Continue reading Smoked Fish Risotto
Sweet Corn Risotto
I’m so over the heat. It’s been hot and sticky here in Southern California for weeks now. While I’ve never been a fan of hot weather, I especially hate humidity. But evidently Mother Nature forgot that we don’t live on the east coast and has graced us with some serious humidity. It’s been awful. So… Continue reading Sweet Corn Risotto
Caramelized Onion Risotto
I was never a big fan of onions growing up. My parents on the other hand were huge fans. Liver and onions, French Onion Soup… they couldn’t get enough. But me, I never wanted any of it. Sure, if there were sautéed onions in recipes that my mother made, I ate them, mainly because I… Continue reading Caramelized Onion Risotto
Broccoli Rabe Risotto
I love Italian food. Spaghetti, gnocchi, chicken parmigiana, they’re all delicious. But my absolute favorite Italian dish has got to be risotto. I love the creaminess, the rich flavor, and if you add a protein like chicken or meat balls you have a completely delicious dinner. There’s only one problem with risotto; it’s rare that… Continue reading Broccoli Rabe Risotto
Mushroom Quinoa Risotto
I love couscous and rice. Both are great side dishes and rice makes a wonderful risotto. I eat them both pretty often as they’re wonderful with chicken, fish and even steak. Quinoa also makes a delightful side dish, however I have never, ever been a fan. See, I’ve tried to make it a few times… Continue reading Mushroom Quinoa Risotto
