Instructions to make Mushroom, Bacon And Leek Risotto:
- Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan then turn heat to low and keep at a simmer.
- Meanwhile heat a large skillet over medium heat then add bacon and saute until crisp. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain then set aside.
- Remove all but 2 Tablespoons bacon grease from skillet (add extra virgin olive oil if necessary to equal 2 Tablespoons fat,) then add leeks, mushrooms, and shallot. Turn heat up to medium-high then season with salt and pepper, and then saute until vegetables are tender and starting to turn golden brown, 7-8 minutes. Add garlic then saute for 1 minute. Add rice then stir to coat and cook for 1 more minute.
- Turn heat back down to medium then add wine and stir until absorbed by rice. Add hot chicken broth then stir near constantly until rice is tender and nearly all the broth is absorbed, about 25 minutes. If broth gets to a hard boil, turn heat down. Remove skillet from heat then stir in thyme, parmesan cheese, and cooked bacon, and then serve.
Add the bacon and stir constantly until it starts to crisp. Pour in the wine and keep stirring until it is absorbed. Add the stock, one ladle at a time, stirring and waiting for the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Push the leek and shallot up against the edge of the pan, and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the fresh mushrooms to the center of the pan.
Foods That Make Your Mood Better
Most of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we need to avoid them. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be completely nutritious and it’s good for you to eat them. There are several foods that, when you consume them, could improve your mood. If you seem to be a little bit down and you need an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you fight depression. Just see to it that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. Every time you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, especially the egg yolks, are full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that affect your mood–run better. Consume an egg and cheer up!
Make a trail mixfrom a variety of seeds and nuts. Your mood can be elevated by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to raise serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” natural substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more of this chemical in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to battle depression. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all high in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that actually help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can truly help you battle your depression.
It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel better. These foods can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling famished can be a real downer! These grains can improve your mood as it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, raises your mood.
Green tea is truly good for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that here, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have shown that this amino acid actually stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental acuity while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you drink green tea. Now you are aware that it can help you be happier also!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a few of these instead!
