Gourmet Mushroom Risotto
This is comfort food at it's finest.I used this recipe for my first go at making risotto.I kept the broth on the burner so it was warm for each addition.You really must get everything ready before starting as you will not be able to leave the pot once the stirring begins.I used a heavy enamel dutch oven so that helped with the sticking issue.Will make this a part of our regular menu.

St. Patrick's Day Zucchini-Oatmeal Cookies
This is a very good cookie.There were bits of green throughout. I took one reviewer's suggestion and added a little freshly grated nutmeg.The cookies were not so sweet and you could really appreciate the subtle spice.I doubled the batch so I got a little over 4 dozen.But I was only able to take 3 dozen to our bake sale for my husband could'nt stop"testing" them.
