LOL about your pictures. This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it!

I had the same problem recently with a delicious bowl of pumpkin oatmeal. Tasted good, not so photogenic!

I like the sound of a brown rice risotto! Nice and healthy. Was it a creamy as a white rice risotto?

Thanks for all the nice comments! I'm laughing b/c you all have no idea how close I came to throwing it all out and ordering pizza! But I would have totally cringed at all the waste...I'm glad I waited it out...it really was good.

And to clarify, I didn't use a special brown risotto (if there is one out there I would love too!), I used plain long grain brown rice. I'm hoping Veronica finds her recipe of the baked risotto so I can try that out!

I didn’t even know they had brown risotto! I’d be really interested in that. Glad you still liked it. Sometimes the ugliest of foods are the most delicious!

I like it with the addition of sausage! That definitely took some dedication to keep going and finish up for a delicious meal. I am glad you gave it a try. As long as you enjoyed it then it was worth it.

I love risotto. I haven’t tried this version yet. You definitely need patience with risotto. Kuddos to you. I would have given up. I’m with you trying to eat healthier too! Now I know about the brown rice on this one.

Good for you for trying it with brown rice. I still have never tried making risotto. Sorry the pictures didn’t turn out but luckily your dinner did.

Aggie, may I suggest using the microwave rice cooker? It does a great job with not-so-easy-to-cook brown rice varieties. Soaking ahead does help, but I don’t bother…
