Lets get it goin again~!

When schools started, I totally spaced on the blog!~

Yet, upon mentioning a recipe today at the dermatologist's office I was inspired to get it goin again~!

So I've been searchin all recipes quite a bit today and my recipe box is stockin up~!

Will keep you posted on the new menu, either tonight or tomm.....

...also I realized how pictures make the difference, so I will try to get the digi into the kitchen~!




One last thing, I should mention on the risotto, is that I have tried both quick cooking where I used a bit higher heat and submerged the rice in the broth so it absorbs quicker, and we get a bit more firm risotto with some definition. However, it comes out a bit bland. 

Its the slow cooking risotto at around med heat and one ladle of both at the time waiting for it to be absorbed. This way it gives you a creamier and much sticker risotto with more of the salt from the broth being absorbed into the dish.... 



Also, I highly recommend using wine in the risotto dishes, like in the Butternut Squash recipe, it amplifies the flavor!
