Some delicious food comes together very quickly, while other dishes take more time/effort. Here's one of each.
Labor of Love: Risotto
Ingredients:
1 small yellow onion finely diced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup arborio rice
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated aged cheese (asiago, parmagiana, etc.)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place vegetable stock and water in a pot and put on medium heat to warm through. Meanwhile, cook onion in butter & olive oil on a low heat about 5 minutes (until it begins to become translucent). Add rice and cook an additional two minutes. Add liquid one cup at a time, stirring until each cup has become absorbed before adding the next. Keep this on a low heat and continuously stir. When almost all liquid has become absorbed, add cream, cheese, salt, and pepper. Serve when it is creamy and tender!
Quick Fix: Smoothies
To make my favorite smoothies, I use frozen berries (I like mixed berries), orange juice, vanilla yogurt, and fresh pineapple. Throw ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. The frozen berries work well because then you don't have to water it down with ice to make it thicker.
Yummy!

If there were a "like" button like on FB, I would press it for the smoothies ;) I always use fresh fruit because we get it delivered (or buy it from the store) and use my *beloved* hand blender. I always put yogurt and milk for Asher because it's usually replacing his milk serving, but I like the orange juice idea. I will try that next time!
