Strawberries and Cream Risotto
Posted by Tracy | Filed under dinner, lunch, soups, salads, & sides
I know, I know. Strawberries in risotto seems kind of weird. Each of the other types of risotto I’ve made have been very much on the savory side, so the thought of tossing in fruit had even me wondering if it was really a good idea. As soon as the scent of strawberries simmering on [...]

You didn’t think I was going to leave you with all of that squash and no recipe to use it in, did you? Nah, I wouldn’t do that to you! Besides, risotto is very easy to make, albeit time-consuming. I can tell you that the results are worth the wait, though. Risotto is a very [...]
