Farmer’s Burrito
Where does most people get inspiration from? Sometimes I think I’m the most random person on the planet.

Seared Scallops and Risotto
I’ve fallen IN LOVE with risotto. I don’t know if its the richness of the rice or the high flavor, but I’m completely won over and can’t get enough. Many risottos I’ve tried contain heavy cream and cheese, which can be a bit much. I have perfected this recipe that is just as delicious without […]
