The cooling weather calls for warm chilis and soups…This week Heidi and I will be sharing a few of our favorite Fall recipes that keep us warm on these chilly days!

Now on to today’s Fiesta Friday contribution! Irish Stew is one of the very first dishes I make every year when it starts to get a little chilly in the fall.

Risotto ‘Amalfi’

Lemons are the most popular food item found in this region of Italy. Other flavors of Amalfi are anchovies and various seafood.

In the meantime I brought the flavors of Amalfi into my humble kitchen using fresh ingredients from the local supermarket! Come join me in my kitchen for a delicious risotto… Continue reading
