Dinner Tonight: Fat Boy Bacon Risotto

October 17, 2013 Drew Fleisher

Creamy Risotto kicked up a few notches with Bacon

You know how I like Bacon (just like every sane human on the planet). So I was thinking, what if I put a pound of perfectly fried bacon into a nice creamy risotto? I'll tell you what, this is some good eatin' right here. The wonderful salty goodness of the bacon really helps bring out the flavor and creaminess of the risotto and the nutty flavor of a good parmesan cheese. This could easily be done with quinoa as well for those of you that have problems with rice. This one is going into regular rotation at our house.

Product Review: Sistema Microwave Rice Steamer

We make a lot of rice here at Fat Boy Heaven, and this is supposed to cut cooking time in half.

This week I was sent this Microwave Rice Cooker from Sistema, and we decided to give it a try tonight. The cooker claims to save more than half of the cooking time for steamed rice, and anything that reduces prep time in my kitchen is a good thing.

We love asian food at our house, and I was in the mood to try something different, so I came up with this recipe. It is fairly simple to cook delicious asian food at home, as the flavors are easy to mix to make something delicious.
