    I’ll be honest, I haven’t had the patience to make risotto but with all of those great choices, I might just have to make the leap! (And I SO did not mean that as a leap day reference!)

    I LOVE risotto! Definitely want to try sweet potato and gorgonzola, apple and pecan, butternut turkey, and arugula ones. Maybe Brussels sprouts and bacon too!

    Thanks!
