How to Cook Mushroom Risotto: Upscale SuperBowl Treats

Posted By on Feb 6, 2011 in Ethnic Foods, How To Cook, Italian Food Recipes, Mushrooms, Side Dishes, Vegetarian | 2 comments

This is Day Eight of our One Month Grocery Shopping Strike! It’s also SuperBowl today… I am making a creamy mushroom risotto to go along with the Lavender Lamb Loin Chops with Blueberry Balsamic Reduction for Superbowl today. We are going all out with our upscale treats! Traditionally speaking, Parmesan cheese is added to risotto, but none of us are crazy about it – so we are omitting it in this recipe.

This recipe for How to Cook Chicken a la King, is a very tasty dish, and even more so if the cooked chicken is grilled or roasted, which kicks up the flavor. This year, for Mother’s Day, Kimberly wanted to know what I wanted to eat for our festivities, which I thought was nice… So, this was one of the dishes I’ve been thinking about lately, and figured it would serve us fine for such an occasion.

September is National Rice Month – So Many Choices…

 Happy National Rice Month! Rice is my favorite main dish or accompaniment to any meals prepared in my kitchen. It comes in many different types…long & short grains, Basmati, Jasmine & Arborio for risottos, as well as oriental suitable for sticky rice, as used in rolls or sushi… …or maybe in the form of rice papers or rice vinegar. Oh the possibilities! Rice salads are a perfect addition to a summer feast...

Yes, I know there are instructions on the back of the box you buy to cook your rice… …But I’m trying to broaden your horizons and trying to keep you from cooking that 5-minute variety of converted rice. I want you to cook the unadulterated version of this staple food. There are many times I buy rice, for instance, at an Asian market, and I cannot read the instructions on the back because it’s in a completely...

I love brown rice and the fact that it’s healthy for us, but it can be bland if you don’t know how to ‘doctor’ it up! So, I love to add interesting and flavorful ingredients to kick up the flavor! This is a great recipe! * Tip: To make this a complete meal in itself, add either tofu or some fabulous cooked beans to make it a complete protein!!! Awesome! ~ Kimberly Edwards 🙂 Type: Side Dish Serve With: Coconut...

Be Sure You Can See Clearly When You Cook

I have a funny story that just happened this past week. My mother made me some homemade chicken soup after I had surgery. I mentioned to her that I thought the rice she put in the soup was nice. She was absolutely certain that she had put barley in the soup, not rice. However, being the “foodie” that I am…LOL…, I knew it was rice by the taste and the texture of the grain. That night, I was cleaning up a few...
