I made this last night....my first time with risotto. Super easy and very yummy. I was out of purple onion so I used plain old brown onion and the results were great. I love that this was made with things I always have on hand, so no special trip to the store. I am sure I will make this again. I originally found this recipe in Everday Food Magazine. Thanks for a keeper.

I went to culinary school for a year and a half, but did not finish due to the arrival of my daughter.
I love baking and cooking, but with a 3 1/2 year old and a one year old, I keep it very simple!!!
Recipezaar is definitely my go to place for recipes...both elaborate and simple.
I work as an office manager in a nursing home. Its a great job, despite having to deal with losses all time. I guess its helped me be a more compassionate person towards other people in their losses though, which is a good thing.
Besides spending time with my family, I love to read, play sudoku, and do my bible study.
