Risotto Alla Vodka

An elegant but EASY (hardest part is slicing the shallots, which isn’t hard persay, but takes a sec!) risotto dish. It’s great as a main dish with a salad, or serve it with literally any protein, it’s great with anything from scallops to steak! View this post on Instagram A post shared by caroline chambers…

Pasta al Limone

This bright, simple, lemon-y pasta is a wonderful vegetarian dish. Try adding seared shrimp, scallops, or chicken if you live in a must-have-meat household (George added chicken to his, duh). My kids absolutely devour this pasta every time I make it, especially when I use this fun pasta shape from Trader Joe’s.
