Mushroom risotto with crispy prosciutto

Hello everybody, it is me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a distinctive dish, mushroom risotto with crispy prosciutto. One of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.

They are nice and they look wonderful. Mushroom risotto with crispy prosciutto is something that I have loved my entire life.

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.

How to Improve Your Mood with Food

A lot of us believe that comfort foods are not good for us and that we should avoid them. Often, if your comfort food is a sugary food or some other junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods may be very nourishing and good for you. There are some foods that, when you eat them, may improve your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, you might be amazed to learn, are great at combating depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk especially, are stuffed full of B vitamins. These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that affect your mood. Eat an egg and cheer up!

Make a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all terrific for helping to boost your mood. This is possible because these foods are high in magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that directs your brain how you feel day in and day out. The more serotonin you have, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Not only that, nuts, in particular, are a terrific protein food source.

Cold water fish are excellent for eating if you are wanting to battle depression. Tuna, trout, mackerel, herring and wild salmon are all rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight back depression.

Grains can be excellent for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, barley, teff, millet, etc are all wonderful for helping you feel better. They help you feel full also which can really help to better your mood. It’s not difficult to feel a little bit off when you feel hungry! These grains can improve your mood because it’s not at all hard for your body to digest them. You digest them more quickly than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel better, mood wise.

Your mood could truly be helped by green tea. You were sure it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically induce brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You were already aware that that green tea helps you be a lot healthier. Now you know that applies to your mood too!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you should eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these hints instead.
