risotto Tag

Besides carbohydrates, bacon is one of my favorite foods. Especially to cook with. One of the things I appreciate most about the smokey slab of pork is that you don't need a lot of it to make a flavor impact on any dish! A little bacon makes everything better. Add some beer and you've got a dish made for loving! This risotto is great as a meal onto it's own with a little garden salad, or makes a perfect side to grilled chicken, or a juicy, tender filet....

I consider myself to be someone who is in pretty good health, above average even, as it relates to how healthy I am. I usually feel good, I am able to live a fairly active lifestyle, and I am able to do most of the things I want to do. Most of the time. Then one of my chronic conditions flare up: my allergies that lead to sinus infections, the ever continuing back saga, chronic migraines, IBS... and sometimes they all flare up at the same time and make me feel like I am not as healthy as I believe I am. If I am totally honest, they make me feel like I am the exact opposite of healthy; sickly, inferior, and weak.
