Risotto

I mentioned last week I was going to make Risotto and yesterday I did. With some help from my dad and my little sister, we threw it together. I wasn't exactly prepared xD I chopped up all the stuff and then we realized we didn't have a scale to weigh the rice or a grater for the cheese. But we managed.




Heres all the stuff. I swapped out the light oil for some fancy italian stuff hiding in the back of the cabinet. We also got a bigger thing of garlic and some chicken broth xD We used Pioneer Woman's recipe for perfect risotto. Can't go wrong with PW, man.





Here's me chopping up garlic.Chopping chives. Remind me to never be a hand model. :P




We heated the onions and garlic in the oil.
Then we added the rice and a couple cups of chicken broth at a time.





threw in the chives and voila!




the chives were a bit much. WAY too many chives in there.
BUT IT WAS SO GOOD. lol. now I know why she said you cant stay skinny while eating risotto.

then we topped off our italian (?) appetizer with some...


pizza. xD
