Hey everyone, hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, mushroom risotto with crispy prosciutto. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a little bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Using asian mushrooms, lemon zest, lemon thyme and a porcini mushroom infused stock, then topped with crispy baked prosciutto shards, this risotto was heavenly. I am glad I added the lemon and the prosciutto (last minute decisions) as it added a zing and crunch that I often think a risotto needs to counteract the creaminess. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, butter, and lemon zest; season to taste with salt, if needed. Add a little bit of warm water, if needed, until risotto is thick but still pourable.

Foods That Can Make You Happy
Many of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are terrible and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. Several foods really do raise your mood when you eat them. When you are feeling a little down and are needing an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are terrific for helping you combat depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most important in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the egg yolk particularly, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Eat an egg and feel a lot better!
Put together some trail mix of nuts or seeds. Your mood can be elevated by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera. This is because these foods are loaded with magnesium, which helps to boost your production of serotonin. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that directs the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a fantastic protein source.
Cold water fish are excellent if you want to feel better. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are rich in DHA and omega-3 fats. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the gray matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight depression.
Grains can be good for driving away a bad mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel better. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling famished can be terrible! These grains can improve your mood because it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest these grains quicker than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.
Green tea is actually good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be mentioned, right? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while calming the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not hard to be healthy when you consume green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood too!
See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you want to feel better! Try these tips instead!
