Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom Risotto By Carrie Fath

There is one food I could eat everyday and that's rice. I love it prepared all different ways but risotto is also a favorite. Today I realized I had everything I needed to make it a pan of mushroom risotto so here is what I did...

Carrie's Mushroom Risotto

1 small onion diced

1 clove garlic minced

One package of your favorite mushrooms chopped

1 cup white wine

4 cups chicken stock warm

2 cups arborio rice

Salt & pepper

1/4 c cream or milk

1/4 c Parmesan cheese

I saluted the onions, garlic and mushrooms in 1 Tblspn butter. Add the rice after approx. 5 minutes and sauté for a few more minutes. Add the wine and simmer for a minute or so. Now add one ladle of broth  and stir until the rice soaks it almost all up. Keep repeating this until the rice is done. It should take about 20 minutes. Keep stirring so it's creamy. Once the rice is done then you can add the cream and Parmesan. Salt & pepper to taste and serve. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Steak Dinner 😍

Last night my boys wanted a steak dinner. So I took out a couple porterhouse steaks from our side of beef we purchased.  I sprinkled them with a little Chicago Steak seasoning from Penzey Spice (one of my all time favorite stores) and grilled them on the Green Egg at 600 degrees for a few minutes on each side. I cut up two small white onions and dropped them in a quick beer batter and fried them into onion straws...yum!!!!  Did I say yum! OMG, these are so delicious. I also whipped up some mashed potatoes. I add milk, butter and little sour cream, salt, pepper, parsley, onion powder and garlic powder. They are the best mashed potatoes. I only use three or four small potatoes for the three of us.

I took the two small pieces of meat and let the boys have the strips. What a wonderful dinner.

Chili's On & Cornbread is Made

What a chilly day I woke to this morning. In the 50's with highs in the low 60's if we even reach 60. Sounds like a good day to make chili and cornbread. That way dinner will be ready before I have to leave for my buyer consultation this evening and the boys leave for hockey.

I had a packet with the beans and seasoning already in it so I chopped up half a large onion, on red pepper and three cloves of garlic. Added that to a pound of browned ground beef into the crockpot with a can of crushed tomatoes, beef stock, the seasoning packet and the beans that I had boiled for 5 minutes and let sit for another hour. That's in the crockpot getting all yummy for dinner. 

Now I just finished up the cornbread.  I found a great sweet recipe online and cut it in half and here is what happened...

It turned out perfect. You can find the recipe right here... Dailydishrecipes.com/moist-sweet-cornbread-recipe/

Enjoy!!!
