Risotto

Recipe- Tasty (kinda)

Ok I’m finally starting to do savory recipes! I used Tasty’s mushroom risotto recipe, sort of. I didn’t use mushrooms because Taylor hates them and added olive oil at the end for bit more flavor.

Process- I love making risotto. It takes some time and you have to baby it but what amazes me about it is how creamy it ends up. It’s like adding a little pasta water to make a pasta sauce thicker and creamier.

To make this you saute onion and butter with some salt and pepper. Add the rice, toast until it’s a little toasted. Add a dry white white, let the rice absorb it and the alcohol burn off, then start adding whatever stock you want little by little until it’s gone. I think this turned out pretty good but who am I to say that?

Taste-

This tastes like it has cream it in but it doesn’t. The rice is (dare I say) perfectly aldente. There is thyme in the recipe and parm so you definitely taste both of those flavors. I decided to add some olive oil as a garnish and that added a little zing to it. It’s perfectly creamy with texture from the rice!

Random Thoughts-

So as of now I will not be selling a cookie box. I’m doing this collaboration with Mylkmaid and I won’t have the time to make everything and actually enjoy christmas. I will be making it for family and close friends though. It’s just been too much. This is probably will be the only time I don’t have to work during Christmas and I want to take advantage of it.

I think I might do something for Valentine’s day though! Depending on how the full time job situation pans out. It’s not easy out there…

I love Christmas. I love it love it love it. We have a cute tree and our fire place is decorated! It’s just so fun! We also have been watching every Christmas movie you can imagine. I also bought a ceramic tree because it reminded me of my Nana. Here are some pics

Also why do some of these pics look like shit? It’s so annoying. I’m having to reedit photos for different social media platforms. Likkkkkkeeeee come on. Edit for my blog, facebook, and instagram. It’s all bull shit.

Ok that’s all. I’ll be back with something cool next week ;)
