A simple Pesto, Asparagus & Tomato Risotto recipe for dinner

A refreshing dinner is all we need at the end of the day. I am practicing mindfulness in cooking and eating. I have added this recipe in my plant based food list finally. You make your own pesto by blending cashew, spinach, nutritional yeast, water and salt. Brown rice is fried with onion, garlic (no oil) on the pot and then slowly cooked till boiled for about one and half hour. Then you add your pesto to the rice and slow cook for another 15 minutes. You can steam asparagus, dice tomatoes and serve with it. I walk you through the entire process in this recipe video. Hope you can make it an enjoy eating this delicious food. Let's eat mindfully and enjoy.

And I will end with what I have read in the book I am reading now:

“WE NEED SOMETHING THAT TAKES US SO FAR OUT OF OURSELVES THAT WE FORGET TO EAT, FORGET TO PER, FORGET TO NOW THE LAWN, FORGET TO RESENT OUR ENEMIES, FORGET TO BROOD OVER OUR INSECURITIES.

PRAYER CAN DO THAT FOR US, COMMUNITY SERVICE CAN DO IT, SEX CAN DO IT, EXERCISE CAN DO IT, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CAN MOST CERTAINLY DO IT (ALBEIT WITHGOD-EARFUL CONSEQUENCES) - BUT CREATIVE LIVING CAN DO IT, TOO.

PERHAPS CREATIVITY’S GREATEST MERCY IS THIS: BY COMPLETELY ABSORBING OUR ATTENTION FOR A SHORT AND MAGICAL SPELL, IT CAN RELIEVE US TEMPORARILY FROM THE DREADFUL BURDEN OF BEING WHO WE ARE.

BEST OF ALL, AT THE END OF YOUR CREATIVE ADVENTURE, YOU HAVE A SOUVENIR -

SOMETHING THAT YOU MADE.”
