Lemon Basil Spinach Risotto

I had a friend request a few milk-free recipes, so this is for her! ;)


At our house, my summertime risotto is a hit! Everyone loves the perfect blend of arborio rice and sauteed veggies (zucchini, squash, carrots, tomatoes) with Italian seasonings. Yes it may be a little different than the mushroom risotto you are used to, but I think different is good...sometimes better!

So on the menu tonight was risotto again. This is a little different with the veggies and seasonings, but the cooking method is the same as my zucchini and squash risotto.

Pumpkin Granola

I made another batch of the pumpkin granola last week! I used this recipe as a guide. If you like granola, you will like this. It is perfect for fall, using it as cereal, over my cooked apples (which then tasted like apple crisp), or as a snack. I even added allergy friendly mini chocolate chips for a sweet treat. Yummy!

Busy!

Everyone has busy lives, and we are included! We've had a few very busy weeks, but I am trying to catch up the best I can! ;-)

I have been meaning to make another batch of some pumpkin granola that I tried a couple of weeks ago. Soooo good! And I wanted to share it with you! That is on my to-do list for this week, along with some pumpkin creme pies or some muffins, or something along that line.

So stay tuned!

In the meantime, here's a little something making me smile...I love his expression!!
