The Super Bowl is just ten days away!  I'll be watching and pulling for the Patriots {sorry, Seahawks fans}.  While my 'hometown' team of the Carolina Panthers weren't fortunate enough to make it to the big game this year, I'm happy that my 'second' team was!  Growing up in Vermont, the New England Patriots were 'our' team for my family.  I remained a Patriots fan once moving to Charlotte, North Carolina ... but when the Carolina Panthers started up in Charlotte several years after I moved there, I just had to support my new hometown team.  And so ... the Panthers became my new 'first' team.

But I've always kept the Patriots in a special place in my football heart!

Now, what's kinda funny about me being excited to watch the Super Bowl is ...

With its thick layer of Oreo cream sandwiched between two chocolate cake layers, and topped with rich chocolate ganache and Oreo crumbles, this Chocolate Covered Oreo Cake recipe is one no Oreo lover can resist.

I've been on a little bourbon kick lately.  Not just drinking it ... cooking with it, too!  And man alive, does bourbon make great food treats.  Like the Salted Dark Chocolate Bourbon Fudge I shared back around Christmas, Bourbon Whipped Cream that's great on pumpkin pie, and these tasty little Bourbon & Bacon Steamed Mussels.

And this Bourbon Little Smokies recipe.  That I'm going to be making over and over and over again for parties and game day snacks.

But I mean, should I be surprised that bourbon makes such good food treats?  When it tastes so good all on it's own?

Classic Parmesan Risotto Recipe

January 2, 2015
Yes, risotto indeed takes a little time and a little patience to make ... but the deliciously creamy result of this classic Parmesan Risotto recipe is worth it.


I have a confession to make.  This bowlful of Parmesan Risotto was actually the first risotto I've ever made.

Don't get me wrong, I like risotto.  And have always enjoyed it when I've eaten it ... mostly in restaurants.  But I had never made it myself until now.

Because I thought it was hard.

And I was afflicted by the dreaded condition of  'Risotto Fear.'

But then in talking with my Mom one day, she convinced me that risotto is not hard ... she said it just required a little time and a little patience.  And {as usual} she was absolutely right.
