The latest issue of Bon Appetit arrived this weekend. Last month, I ogled over the mac and cheese on the cover, but never got around to making it. Probably due to the strange cheeses I’d need to buy and not having time to stop in at Formaggio’s Kitchen to do so. After flipping through this month’s, I knew immediately that we would be trying out a few recipes.

First off – Bacon and leek risotto with a fried egg (I am not poaching an egg, sorry, just not going to happen). Here’s a link to the recipe if you feel inclined to try this out (I recommend it!).

Lacking both bacon and leeks, James and I made a quick pit stop at Trader Joe’s before embarking in the world of food that tastes so good but is so bad for you.

Nom. Nom.

I’m not going to lie, stirring hot, hot risotto for 25 minute isn’t exactly fun, but James helped out. At least so I could snap a pic.

And the final….
