Brown Rice Risotto

Brown Rice Risotto
Scroll down for my brown rice risotto – so good! My routine is so out of whack.  I never knew how much I craved routine until these last couple weeks working from home.  I’ve gotten into the habit of staying up until midnight, sleeping in with the dogs until 8 a.m. before clocking in at 9. My only decision to help myself from making all...

Pad Thai Salad

Pad Thai Salad
I have a new to me product that I need to share.  Natural Heaven hearts of palm . . . pasta!   First, one of the number one question I got when I posted this on Instagram was “Biz, does it taste like pasta?”  Well, the answer is no – because it’s hearts of palm.  It absorbs the flavors of the dish.  I happen to love...

Coconut Shrimp

Coconut Shrimp
I’ve mentioned it before, but I usually write recipes on my train ride home.  Yesterday morning before I left for work I almost pulled out a pork chop to defrost in the fridge during the day, but saw that I had shrimp and not knowing if I was going to be working late last night, knew they would thaw quick and I’d make something with...
