Butternut Squash Risotto

I love pioneer woman. She always has the best recipes. I spent way too much time on her website today  looking at recipes. I had a butternut squash that I wanted to use, but I didn't want to make the butternut squash pasta I usually make (although I love it, I just wanted to try something else). I found pioneer woman's recipe for butternut squash risotto. I trust her greatness so followed the recipe pretty closely.

My adjustments to the recipe:
  • Before I added the chicken stock, I put in some wine. I think every risotto should have wine. 
  • The measurements I used were a little different because I didn't want to make enough for 8 people. 
  • I didn't have any tumeric, so I didn't put that in. 
  • I added garlic to the sweet potato and the onions. 
  • I'd never put cream in risotto before, but I went for it. Probably less than she suggested. 
  • I didn't have any parsley, but I added a bunch of kale to the risotto. Excellent choice.
