Have I mentioned how much I love mushrooms? Well I LOVE them. This 30 Minute Mushroom Risotto is perfect. It has mushrooms, pasta, and cheese (all my favortie things!). This dish makes a great dinner, or a quick side dish.

Did I mention how much I love creamy risotto… It is so luxurious and usually takes a long time to make. Cut the time down by using orzo pasta which cooks fast. I like fast recipes if you haven’t noticed!

I just finished my shift tonight, and it was a great one. Sometimes as a server you have nights were everyone is in a good mood (the servers and the guests, what?!). Everything ran perfectly and ended perfectly.

Yum… the best part about tonight was there were no late night surprise guests. I know it’s my job to serve until the restaurant is closed, but it really is a bummer to get that one table 10 minutes before close. It means your are going to be stuck for an extra hour at work with just that one tip for compensation (in Tennessee server’s wage is $2.13/hour which all goes to taxes anyway). I am not one to complain though. It’s just part of the job.

This risotto makes it all better. Nom, nom, nom. Haha!

This recipe is the perfect side for the Skillet Chicken with Bacon Mustard Sauce. Throw in some Roasted Vegetables for a well balanced meal!
