Hey Everyone! How's the summer so far? ☀️☀️
From our end, everything's been well considering ....
The Husband and I have been working non-stop while Baby Girl has been enjoying being in the countryside. Oh and by the way, there's a new addition to our French family - our baby niece and guess what? The Husband was chosen to her Godfather. I'm so jealous!❤️❤️
The other day I was missing Baby Girl a little more than usual, so I thought I would make some Risotto. This is one of her favourite dish ever. But let's be honest, Risotto is not the easiest thing to make. Actually, it's not really hard, but just very time-consuming. All that constant stirring. You know what I mean.
But I found a solution for that with my Thermomix aka kitchen helper. That thing has made cooking Risotto a breeze. I just basically put the ingredients in and wait for it to indicate that it's ready. On a busy working day, it's a win-win. Baby Girl gets her Risotto and I can do other things while the Risotto is cooking.
I took this recipe from the Cookomix website (click here). I made some changes here and there, especially with replacing some ingredients.
