Instant Pot Lemon Risotto
Instant Pot for the Win! I am all about my Instant Pot. I use it for mac-n-cheese, chicken, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and now this Lemon Risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite sides but it can be a real pain to make. A few weeks a go I was over at a friends home and her daughter was talking about making her famous Lemon Risotto and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. The thing was though is I didn’t want to stand over a stove stirring for 30-45 minutes so I decided to take a chance and see what the IP could do… and I was NOT…

Easy Fried Rice
One of my favorite take out items is fried rice. I love it loaded with veggies, with chicken, with beef, or just plain. There are so many options you really can make it work for any meal. All in one skillet The beauty of this Easy Fried Rice is that it is all made in one skillet. You start with the veggies and end with the rice. If you wanted to add in chicken you could, just chop it up into small pieces and add it in with the butter and olive oil. Cook it until just about done and then add in the veggies and continue from…

a perfect side for Taco Tuesday (or Monday, Wednesday…or any day)
Taco Tuesday is here!! For me this is definately a favorite. I love, love, love anything with a Mexican/Tex-Mex flair, so a whole day devoted just to tacos sounds like a perfect day. It is so much more than just tacos I know tacos should be the star of Taco Tuesday but to me the sides are just as important (if not even more). I love the chips, the salsa, the queso (like this one) and of course the beans and rice. Now I am all about the more traditional Red Rice but I am obsessed this Cilantro Lime Rice. It is AMAZING! So much flavor in so…

Pesto + Risotto = LOVE
Risotto is one of my most favorite sides and ever since I made this Arugula Pesto last week I have been trying out new ways to use it in all sorts of dishes, and this one is my favorite so far. Oh how I love Risotto I am a big, big fan of risotto. I love it simply done with a little parmesan or something more exotic such as with truffles, but this pesto version is pretty good too. Not only is it delicious but it is also pretty easy to make, making this a perfect side for dinner tonight. Yes, you can make it tonight…a weeknight. You will be surprised…

Even better, over time The Hubby has learned to LOVE risotto too. you’ve got this… So I know some of you are thinking there is no way I can make risotto on a weeknight. It takes way to long and there is so much to it…but just wait. This weeknight risotto only has a few ingredients and comes together pretty quick making it perfect or dinner tonight. The beauty of this risotto is that it is perfect for the beginner risotto maker. The first…

red rice for dinner tonight…yes, please
Over the last few years I have become quite the fan of rice. We did not eat it a ton growing up but lately I can’t get enough of it. Red rice..LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The Hubby and I LOVE anything Mexican. I mean anything…nachos, enchiladas, tacos (in all forms), burritos, fajitas…all of it. One thing that goes great with all these dishes is rice, and especially red rice. Red rice is one of our new favorites for sure. It is loaded with tons of flavor, but it is super easy to make, making this a dish perfect for a busy week. What makes it so special? First off I almost always…

rice gone wild
Are you a rice or a potato person? I am 90% of the time a potato gal except when we are talking about wild rice. not in a box? There is always a box of that Uncle’s Wild Rice in my pantry. I sometimes whip it up for a quick side. It may have been fixed it for my lunch a couple of times as well. I mean it really is just a perfect little side (or lunch)….and then I discovered something at the store one day. Just imagine it I am walking down the grain aisle to grab some couscous and sitting right there is a bag of wild rice. But wait, it’s…

rice is a favorite around here…and we have made our fair share. Some of ur favorites are this Mexican version, or this cheesy one and & especially this cilantro lime version…but this green version is a new must make. So why make another version when I already have so many? Well you can really never have too many rice recipes, especially when they are this good. What makes this recipe so good…well I combined two of our favorites and added in some veggies to make it super yummy. I combined the classic red mexican rice and a light cilantro rice to make this green version. There is a little surprise about this rice though that will get some veggies on your kids plates (the big &…
