Dinner

Well. Normally I blog about our sweet daughter and our family adventures, but today I am discussing another passion of mine....COOKING. So I have included this first picture about Cami Whenever I am in the kitchen cooking or cleaning she takes it upon herself to help. So as I was cooking this meal this is what she was doing.

Now, on to the main event. If you know me, you know that I love to cook and bake. I have always enjoyed it, but at the beginning of our married life I never had the time to dedicate to new recipes. Now that I am a stay at home mom I have more time to plan our and prepare meals (and more help from a sweet toddler girl). Also if you were to show up at our house at any given time there is a pretty good chance you would find the TV on 1 of 3 choices cartoons, ESPN or the food network.

I was at the store about a month ago and decided that I would buy some arborio rice. I have always wanted to make risotto, but have never tried it before and honestly was a little intimidated. Well, last night was the night.

Baked garlic, lemon & herb chicken with risotto and garlic lemon fresh green beans. All I can say is YUMMY!


I will tell you that this was a great side dish away from our ordinary potatoes, but it was definitely time consuming. Worth the effort.
