Not to mention, we are in the process of refurnishing parts of our home, and we’ve been eating out more lately… ‘tis the season for spending! Or, maybe not! As I brainstormed ways to cut back on our grocery bill this week, an image of the my 36 ounce container of risotto popped into my head. The one that was “worth the money” because I would supposedly make risotto all the time. The one that is still sitting on a shelf, waiting to be used. Please tell me I’m not the only one? Anyway, my brilliant plan is to save money on meals this week by just making many varieties of risotto. And my first attempt – although somewhat spontaneous – turned out as creamy and delicious as ever. YUM! This was so tasty. I wasn’t feeling like chicken, so I enjoyed mine with just the cheese, black beans, and tomatoes. It was so delicious and comforting – even as a vegetarian meal! 4.5 from 2 reviews How do you save money this time of year? Or anytime of year? Gulp. Good thing I married a saver. Coming soon – Risotto Part II. Involving Brie cheese.
