Spinach Pesto Chicken Breasts
This was really very good! I made it with homemade pesto that we made this summer and it had very good flavor. I like to make something per the recipe the first time out and I will definitely make this again. I can easily see using red peppers, zucchini and/or mushrooms along with the spinach and pesto mix. Thank you for sharing!

Gourmet Mushroom Risotto
I have been looking for a good risotto recipe for some time and this was simply excellent. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I made it as stated in the recipe and both my husband and I love it. The trick is to make sure the heat is not too high. That way, the liquid can be absorbed instead of boiling away to quickly. Will definitely make again and will be trying some of the variations suggested by the author. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!!!

Fresh Salsa
I absolutely love this recipe and reach for it often, especially when vegetables in our garden are ready! Made it just as stated and love the incredible fresh taste it has. The jicama really makes the difference. If there is any leftover, it is great in an omlette the next morning! Thank you for sharing!
