About this Cook
Both my mother and grandmother were great cooks but they used basic recipes that never changed. I learned to cook with those recipes then alter them to make them my own. My brother who is a single father loves to cook for family and friends. We have a friendly family competiton to see who's foods get the most rave reviews at family events.

Italian Chicken Sausage Risotto
This is a good and easy Risotto recipe; if you have never attempted Risotto before start here. 15 minutes to cook the Arborio rice is probably not enough, you need all the liquid absorbed and the rice to be al dente. To get that creamy texture closer to 25 minutes worked for me, don't rush it. I would also suggest breaking up the sausage so that the pieces are just a little bigger than pea size. Enjoy. Now go try some of the other delicious Risotto recipes on allrecipes.com because I know you will be hooked.

Sandy's Casserole
Very easy but very bland. Macaroni at the top of the dish was hard, not cooked, reccommend stirring half way through cooking time to remedy. Needs some kick and just spices in general.
