Wild Mushroom Risotto- A creamy risotto with intense, woody mushroom flavours and Parmesan shavings. In a saucepan, warm the broth over low heat. When it comes to selecting wild mushrooms, the fresher, the better. Add to the heady, earthy flavor of those 'shrooms a little dry white wine, homemade mushroom stock, cream, butter, shallots, thyme, and of course, risotto rice (we love the Arborio rice from Lundberg Family Farm), and this risotto recipe becomes pure magic.

Steps to make Wild mushroom risotto:

1. Start by soaking the dried mushrooms with the boiling water, do this at least 1 hour before you make the risotto so that the mushrooms get soft, so that the grit sinks to the bottom of the jug and so that the stock is full of flavour. Slice and pan fry the portobello mushrooms and season lightly.
2. Remove the mushrooms from your pan and add a little olive oil, add the finely diced shallot, celery and garlic. Stir over a medium low heat for just a minute before adding the rice, stir this around for a further couple of minutes so that you rough up the smooth surface of the rice, this makes soaking up the stock more efficient.
3. After a couple of minutes stirring add the now chopped up wild mushrooms, then add the white wine and stir until the wine has been absorbed, then add about 1/3 of the mushroom stock. Take care not to add the sediment from the mushrooms, I've used a fine mesh sieve but you can pour yours through a coffee filter?
4. You can now add the portabello mushrooms back in the pan now and stir gently for the next 20 minutes approx, adding more stock when the last amount has absorbed - evaporated.
5. Taste the risotto for flavour but also for the texture of the rice, you want it to be soft but not mushy like porridge, I like my rice grains to be separate but on the verge of breaking up. If you have used all of your stock but need more cooking just add some hot water as I did in the second image. Once your happy with the rice add the butter. If your a purist and object to this calm down you can add olive oil but butter makes it better in my opinion.
6. Time to add the herbs and parmesan, check for seasoning
7. Spoon into a bowl of your choice, it should form a small mound which can be encouraged to lay flat by tapping the bottom or shaking the bowl. I've used the remainder of my parmesan as shavings but finely grated would be fine, I've added more parsley and got stuck in.

Deglaze with white wine and cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. The flavor of the mushrooms with the white wine vinegar mix in at the end, had just the twist of flavor that left everyone saying this was better than restaurant risotto.

Use Food to Improve Your Mood

Most of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are not good and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this holds true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be extremely healthy and good for you. A number of foods actually do boost your mood when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a couple of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be truly great at beating back depression. You must see to it, however, that what you make includes the yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolk especially, are high in B vitamins. The B vitamin family can be fantastic for lifting up 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 feel happier!

Make a trail mixout of different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all terrific for helping to raise your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more serotonin in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not only that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.

Cold water fish are great if you would like to be in a better mood. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all high in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two things that really help the grey matter in your brain function a lot better. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight back depression.

Grains can be good for driving away a bad mood. Millet, quinoa, barley, etc are great at helping you be happier. They can help you feel full for longer as well, helping you feel better. Feeling starved can truly make you feel terrible! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are not hard to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Green tea is actually excellent for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea has been found to be packed full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this particular amino acid can essentially stimulate brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while also loosening up the rest of your body. You already knew green tea could help you feel so much healthier. Now you know it can help raise your mood as well!

You can see, you don’t need junk food or foods that are bad for you to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
