Summer is in the air, I would hope at least in most places. It seems that in some places a little bit more humid than some of us can handle. Thank goodness for air conditioning.

I love this season, its just invigorating. School is out for kids and everyone, young and old, is out enjoying everyday to the fullest either through playing ball, going for a walk or taking a refreshing dip in a pool.

After an active day sometimes I crave for dessert something more than fruit. Few days ago I found in my cupboard left over Arborio rice. Instead of making risotto, I thought of making dessert. Vanilla Bean rice pudding. A perfect comfort food desserts. I decided to put a twist on this classic dish. A nice sugary crust on top of the melt in my mouth delectably soft rice pudding. Yummy, yummy... The varying texture of the soft and crunchy is simply irresistible. Try it for your self.

Valentine's Day Pink Risotto

I love the idea of making dinner together, especially at Valentine's Day. My husband and I often do that, and it's really relaxing and soulful. I ask him to help stir and he always feels important and delighted to help.

It a great way to spend time in the kitchen together because the process of making risotto is just so easy, no room for fights :-). Especially as its slow-paced and leaves a lot of time for talking and stirring. I always put some slow and sexy music in the background, light candles and open a bottle of bubbly or our favorite wine of the moment. It doesn't have to be an expensive bottle, it just should be something that you enjoy.

Before making risotto, cheer to your happiness and many years of love to come. Then stir and chat and have a sip of champagne or wine while making your meal. The final result is not only delectable but your combined labour of love. A delicious and wonderful way to celebrate Valentine's day and any other day. Visit my site to read this recipe.
