Weeknight Risotto…yes for real
I am a HUGE risotto fan. Almost anytime it is on a menu I will probably order it, but I also love to make it at home. 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…

surprise their are veggies in this rice!
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 &…

Orzo in the making…
Soup is a comfort food for The Hubby and I try to have it for him as often as possible…but in Half Baked Land it is already getting warm outside so I am not in much of a soup mood, until I remembered a recipe I have been waiting to make all winter…Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup. When I first came across this recipe it was late summer/early fall so I decided to put it on the back burner until spring rolled back around and finally it is here…and it is finally time for this soup!! It is a very hearty soup, while still being light with a perfect hint of lemon…

garlic & brown rice make a happy couple
I have a new love…BROWN RICE! Now rice has always been a love but all of a sudden brown rice is the only rice I crave…and trust me when I say crave I mean CRAVE! Not too long a go I was not feeling so good…I got a cold that wouldn’t leave me alone and the only thing I wanted to eat was brown rice. I love the nuttiness of the rice, the texture of the rice and I really LOVE how flexible this rice can be. It really does take on almost any flavor or spices you throw at it to making it so versatile and perfect for almost…

Lightened-up enchilada soup? Yes, its good
Enchilada soup is one of my most favorite soups of all time. There is just something about the chicken with the spices and the broth with the cheese that makes my life oh so happy! So one of my favorite enchilada soups of all time is at the restaurant Chili’s. It is rich, creamy, cheesy with the perfect amount of spice and I have made that recipe several times, but lately I have been obsessed with green chilies so I decided it was time to change up my favorite soup a bit…and voila here we have the Green Chile Enchilada Soup. [mpprecipe-recipe:110] Since I was changing it up anyway…
