Creole Style Shrimp Risotto
Linda is really the Risotto girl, but every once and a while I’ll make it. It is in my opinion the Yummiest way to eat rice! Here I was in the mood for a spiced version, so I went ahead and Creole’d my Risotto… not sure that’s a real word, but that’s what I did. If you like a little spice go ahead and give this Risotto a whirl. Continue reading

If you saw my post in late September I made Pink Peppercorn Pickled Onions. They are so delicious and pretty. I’m really into using them right now and put them on almost everything.
