Probably the best Risotto EVER!

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 23:37:49 GMT

Probably the best Risotto EVER!

I discovered the dairy version of this risotto at the Dog Tales restaurant
( http://www.dogtales.ca — an amazing place, and if you live near Toronto, it’s a must-visit!).
The only issue for me was the butter: unnecessary, heavy, and full of cholesterol and hormones.
So I swapped it for olive oil… and the results were simply amazing!

Ingredients

2 cups risotto rice (medium grain)
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 cups king oyster mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup green beans, ends trimmed
½ cup cooked edamame (prepare according to package instructions)
About 10 fresh oregano leaves
Salt, to taste
¼ cup olive oil
4 cups filtered water

Instructions

In a wide pot, sauté the onion, rice, mushrooms, green beans, and salt in half of the olive oil for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the water and bring to a boil.
Reduce to low heat, add the oregano leaves and the remaining olive oil.
Cook on low heat, half-covered , until the water is absorbed and the rice becomes soft and sticky — classic risotto texture.
Add the cooked edamame and mix gently.

To Serve (Fun Presentation Tip!)

Pack some of the risotto into a small container, pressing it down so it keeps its shape.
Flip it upside down onto a plate and lift the container off — you’ll have a beautiful molded risotto “tower.”
Add a few mushrooms and beans on top for garnish.

And don’t forget to bless me after you taste this!! ��

Enjoy!

Cold Pressed Green Juice

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 23:21:48 GMT

Cold Pressed Green Juice

The ultimate green juice!
Delicious, refreshing, and packed with nutrients — this juice gives you a natural boost of energy and is loaded with antioxidants, phytochemicals, minerals, and vitamins.
In one serving, you get the equivalent of a whole day’s worth of vegetables and greens!

This is truly one of the tastiest green juices I’ve ever tried: naturally sweet, but not too much — perfectly balanced.

If you have a cold-pressed juicer at home, this is an amazing way to start your day!

And great news: the quantities are flexible.
If you prefer a less sweet juice, simply add more cucumbers and parsley and reduce the fruit — or do the opposite for a sweeter version.

Ingredients

3 Royal Gala apples
1 handful fresh parsley
5 small cucumbers
½ pineapple, peeled and cut into pieces
10 fresh mint leaves (they dramatically upgrade the flavor!)
4 golden kiwi

Instructions

Run all the ingredients through a cold-pressed juicer .
Optionally, strain again to remove extra pulp — but I personally keep the pulp for the fiber and extra health benefits.

Enjoy this beautiful, energizing green juice!

Instructions

Toast the dry ingredients:
Spread the oats, almonds, and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–10 minutes .
Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!
Blend the dates:
Process the dates in a food processor or strong blender for about 1 minute , until a sticky, dough-like consistency forms.
Combine:
Place the oats, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and date paste in a large mixing bowl.
Warm the syrup + nut butter:
In a small saucepan, gently heat the maple syrup and peanut butter (or almond butter) over low heat. Stir until smooth, then pour over the oat mixture.
Mix thoroughly, breaking up the date pieces so they distribute evenly.
Shape your creation:
Transfer the mixture to a small tray.

For bars: Press the mixture down firmly until evenly flattened.
For balls: Take small portions and roll them with your hands into bite-sized balls.

Set:
Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Final step (for bars):
Once set, remove the flattened mixture from the tray and cut into bars — any size you want!
(I usually get about 10 regular-size bars.)
Storage:
Keep bars or balls in an airtight container for up to several days.
