Cheesy risotto

Hello girls...! Trust me it's not easy being a mommy. From the wee hours of morning that your kiddo gets up till the late night that you struggle to put him to bed.. It's definitely a full time job.

But that one smile or hug that ur cutie pie gives you... Sums up for all the effort you put in for him.

Now you must be wondering why I'm stressing so much on the time put in for the child. Well, that's the reason I have been so tied up again to come back to blogging. 

However, that dosent stop me from trying new recipes to share with you gals. 

This time around I tried a quick, delicious and not so healthy dinner recipe ;)

I actually made this for my toddler but was loved by everyone else in the house...! And me too ;)
