Spring Risotto in Crockpot

We found this in Country magazine--but we cooked ours 4 hours on low in the crockpot throwing all ingredients in!!! We liked it. Nice flavors. We substituted CHICKEN BROTH, left out the Parmesan, and added some cooked sliced baby carrots along with everything else! But if you cook it in the crock pot it has more of the consistency of a stuffing---we like it that way, you may prefer it on the stove top.

 


NOTE: WE THREW ALL IN CROCKPOT AND COOKED ON LOW 4 HOURS. WE USED UNSALTED CHICKEN STOCK, INSTEAD OF VEG BROTH BECAUSE WE PREFER THE TASTE. WE ADDED SOME COOKED CARROTS TOO.

Tofu toasted!

Cut extra firm Tofu into 4 pieces (length wise). Saute in pan for 5-10 min on each side with a little EVU.  Cook till crispy.  I topped mine with garlic powder, salt, hummus and avocado  I can’t tell you how really yummy this is/ what a surprise!. 

Another option below is topping it with peanut butter and strawberries!

Balsamic mushrooms with herb-y kale potatoes

The seasonings in this dish make the dish---so tasty.  Full recipe is found here https://www.budgetbytes.com/balsamic-roasted-mushrooms-with-herby-kale-mashed-potatoes/

I only had 8oz of mushrooms and should have had twice that, but it was still great. I used 2 really large baking potatoes.  This served just my hubby and myself. Nice hardy yummy dish. I am going to give the ingredients here, but go to the link for the how to do.  Note--my mushrooms cooked way faster than her recipe calls for maybe because mine were sliced already.
