Mushroom and Chicken Risotto

Dinner Tonight: Mushroom and Chicken Risotto


For Breakfast this morning I had a bowl of Cheerios's Cereal and also a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Outside today

about 86 degrees, humid, with showers later in the day. Right after Breakfast I headed up to the local Kroger to pick up a few items for tonight's Dinner. Back home did some house cleaning. Then after Lunch headed out to go see Dad at the rehab unit. It's been a rough day for him, having a lot of trouble breathing today. His breathing isn't going to get any better, his lungs have about given up on him. I guess we can always hope! Back at home finished up a few things  around the house. For Dinner tonight I prepared Mushroom and Chicken Risotto with Baked French Bread.


I purchased a Simple Truth Rotisserie Whole Roaster Chicken while at Kroger this morning. I went ahead and pulled all the

meat, one big roaster I ended up with 2 containers of Pulled Chicken. Set the Chicken aside until needed. 









Next, I had picked up a small container of fresh Mushrooms at Kroger also. Wiped them off with a paper towel and sliced

them up. Setting them aside also. 









For the Risotto I used a box of Lundberg Creamy Risotto. Love using the Lundberg Risotto Products, always turns out great. To prepare it is quick and easy. In a 2 qt. saucepan, sauté the Rice in ½ Tbsp. Extra Light Olive Oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 2½ cups water and contents of Seasoning Pouch. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cook uncovered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally until rice is tender. With about 8 minutes of cooking time left I added the Chicken and Mushrooms. Stirred until both were well mixed in the Risotto. 




Topped it with some Kraft Reduced Fat Parmesan Grated Cheese, and done! The Mushroom and Chicken blended with

Risotto perfectly and Parmesan Cheese on anything makes it better! I baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread to go with everything. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn along with a small can of Coke Zero to drink.    






Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto

Enjoy the delectable flavor of rich, aged Parmesan cheese in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We created this delicious gourmet side dish by blending quality ingredients like Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, and spices with our creamy Arborio rice. You’ll love how the individual kernels plump, creating a rich, creamy sauce while the rice grains remain separate and al dente. Preparing this tasty risotto takes about 20 minutes and requires minimal stirring. It’s an easy, convenient way to add gourmet flair to any meal.

Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots





For Breakfast this morning I prepared a packet of Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, toasted 2 slices of

Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread, and had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After a night of heavy rain and thunder storms, the morning was quiet but a lot cooler. We had a record high of 76 degrees yesterday and a high of 41 degrees today! There goes my Sinuses again!Just as soon as they get adjusted to warm weather, here comes the cool weather back. Cloudy and breezy out. After Lunch I went up to see Dad for a while at the rehab center. Back home took a quick nap and watched some College Basketball. For Dinner tonight its a Seasoned Haddock w/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Sliced Carrots.



I had purchased 2 Haddock fillets from Kroger the day before. I rinsed both fillets and cut into

smaller pieces. I froze one bag and kept the other one out for my Dinner tonight. So to prepare them I seasoned them with just a bit of Sea Salt and put the pieces in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag where I then added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Shook until all the pieces were well coated. Shook off the excess and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Haddock and Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Mix, the perfect combo. The Zatarain’s Breading and Seasonings are my favorites. I love Haddock it cooks up so nicely and I love the flavor and how meaty it is. These make a great Fish Sandwich also!

For one side dish I made some Creamy Parmesan Risotto. As always I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes.











Then I also heated up a can of Del Monte Sliced carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than
boiling fresh Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. I also baked a 1/2 loaf of LaBrea Whole Grain Loaf Bread. For dessert later a Weight Watcher's Divine Triple Chocolate  Ice Cream Bar.

Baked Salmon W/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Whole Baby Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Baked Salmon W/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Whole Baby Carrots






For Breakfast I had a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin topped with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. We had to be at the hospital by 8:30 this morning. Dad had to go through a procedure to inflate the collapsed lung. Everything went great, so now he just has to build his strength back up before returning home. For dinner tonight I prepared Baked Salmon W/ Creamy Parmesan Risotto and Whole Baby Carrots.






So from the freezer I grabbed a Salmon Fillet last night and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. To

prepare it, I rinsed it off with cold water and patted it dry with a paper towel. I preheated the oven on 400 degrees. I seasoned it with McCormick’s Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and some Dried Dill. Sprayed a small baking pan with Pam w/ Olive Oil Spray and added the Salmon Fillet. Baked it on 400 degrees until the Salmon was fork tender, about 12 minutes total. I love Salmon as I do all Fish and Seafood. The Salmon came out delicious, nicely seasoned and moist. i just love all Fish and Seafood.







For one side dish I made some Creamy Parmesan Risotto. As always I used Lundberg Creamy
Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes. Then I also heated up a can of Kroger Brand Whole Baby Carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than boiling fresh Baby Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.

Started my morning off by preparing a couple of Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, and a couple of slices of Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Bread. Add in my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea, I was set to start the day! Just another perfect Fall day out there again, sunny and a high around 68 degrees.

For dinner tonight I prepared Fried Walleye w/ Risotto and Cut Green Beans.






While at Mejier yesterday they had Walleye on sale so I picked up a couple of fillets. So I’m

I then fried them in Extra Virgin Olive Oil on medium heat, about 3 to 4 minutes per side till golden brown! I love Walleye, as I do most Fish. Walleye is so meaty and has such a fresh flavor. Along with Crappie their my favorite Fresh Water Fish to eat.
