Baked Risotto with Bacon and Peas - YUM!
For Christmas I got a Donna Hay Cookbook. I am not usually a fan of such books as I see the ingredient list is a mile long, no thanks! However this particular book is called 'The Instant Cook'. That is I!
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 Rashers bacon, chopped
2 Zucchinis (they wanted leeks but I said no!)
2 tablespoons thyme leaves
2 cups aborio rice
5 cups chicken stock (I went 4 = 1L)
1 cup frozen peas
4 rashers bacon, extra
1/4 cup grated parmesan
sea salt and chopped perrer
Preheat the over to 200. Heat frying pan over high heat. Add the oil, bacon zucchini and thyme, cook for 5 mins. Spoon the mixture into a 10cup capacity oven proof dish. Add the rice, stick and stir! Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 mins. Add the peas, re-cover and cook for a further 10 mins. Place the extra bacon on a tray and cook in the oven for 8 mins or until crisp. Remove risotto from the oven, add the parmesan, salt and pepper and stir till the risotto has thickened. Crumble over the crispy bacon.

New additions
Over the christmas break we got some plants for inside...I think they look great! We also now have a giant blackboard in the kitchen...
Our auidence
The two LOUD little girls that live behind us were lucky enough to score a new cubby house for christmas. Aren't they cute wearing their matching pink t-shirts and sunglasses blowing bubbles over the fence? Pity they know how to throw stones to!
