I made this non-traditional baked brown rice risotto and it was amazingly better than those words sound together. 😋

It was cold and rainy over the weekend and will be near freezing tomorrow night.
Today was sunny and 80. I took a longer than usual lunch and walked outside with the dogs.
The sun felt amazing. Remember to take advantage of the small pleasures life offers.

Grocers, I want the DARK brown sugar.
