Mustard and Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb with Minted Peas

March 30, 2010

As much as I love my vegetables and fruits, when it comes down to it, I am an all-out omnivore, and some of my favorite ways to prepare meats are by roasting them.  Roasting is not hard, but it requires time.  If you are coming home after a long day of work and want food [...]

March 14, 2010

I was so excited when it was announced that this month’s challenge was risotto!  I guess it wasn’t really that much of a challenge for me because I make risotto a lot, but I decided to make it interesting by doing something I’ve never done before – a sweet dessert risotto.  Fortunately risotto is naturally [...]
