My name is Simone, and I'm addicted to sharing! On this blog, I share recipes, shopping tips, relationship and parenting advice, a joke, an opinion and just about everything in between. In between sharing, I run an integrated marketing agency where my love of details and straight lines are put to good use. But my most important job is being a wife and mother to a teenaged daughter who still seems to like me—for now anyway.

This mushroom risotto looks fancy. It’s not. Just rice, broth, mushrooms and patience. Save the recipe below for the next night you want cozy but not complicated. Mushroom Risotto Recipe Ingredients * 2 tablespoons olive oil divided * 1 tablespoon butter * 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced * 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced * 1 medium shallot, chopped * 1 cup arborio rice * 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth * 1/4 cup cooking white wine (or you can just use more broth) * 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese * 1/4 cup freshly grated pecorino romano cheese (or more parmesan), for topping * Salt, black pepper, or favorite seasonings to taste Instructions 1. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. 2. Add mushrooms. Lightly season and cook until browned and tender, about 6–8 minutes. 3. Remove and set aside. 4. In the same pan, add shallots and sauté for about 30 seconds. 5. Add arborio rice and stir to toast for 2–3 minutes. 6. Pour in white wine (or broth) and stir until mostly absorbed. 7. Begin adding broth about ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently, letting the liquid absorb before adding more. 8. Repeat until rice is creamy and tender but still slightly al dente (about 18–20 minutes). 9. Stir mushrooms back in. 10. Add butter. 11. Remove from heat and fold in parmesan. 12. Taste and adjust salt, pepper or your favorite seasonings. 13. Top with pecorino romano cheese or more parmesan 14. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

24 hours in NYC. Went to see Jill Scott perform songs from her new album and whew… Her voice. The storytelling. The vibes. They took our phones at the door and there was something so special about being fully present. Just listening and feeling the music. Quick trip. Full heart.
