This COVID19 - quarantine is very hard for many who are used to eating out. But let's take this opportunity to make our favorite restaurant dishes at home. Risotto is one of my favorite Italian dishes. Rich and creamy, this Mushroom Risotto recipe is super simple to make. 

The best part about this recipe is the addition of mushrooms. They are full of protein and fiber, the best part is that they contain Vitamin B and a unique antioxidant called selenium, known to help with cell repair and improving immunity.   I love incorporating mushrooms into my dishes.
