Mushroom, Asparagus, Onion Risotto with a Sunny Side Up Egg

I have a lot of veggies in my fridge lately   I have been trying to eat more fruits and veggies.  It has been working out ok, still trying not to eat after 8pm.  I am also trying to do my best by snacking on things that are healthy   I was hungry for dinner and did not know what to have.  I looked in the cupboard and saw that i had some risotto.  Perfect, I would saute up some of these veggies and have myself some great veggie risotto.  The only thing that would make this more healthy is if I had some brown rice risotto.
I have had risotto in the past with a egg on it and wanted to do it with this as well.  I got out my saute pan, put in some bacon fat and watched it melt and fill the air with the essence of a smoke house.  i then cracked the egg, centering the yolk as much as possible.  I then turn down the heat real low, I wanted a fully cooked, white of your eye white.  The yolk was to be cool, bright yellow, ready to ooze the second your fork or knife nicked it.
I placed that nice perfectly cooked egg on top of my nice, tender vegetable risotto.  Moments later I cut open that yolk, let it run down the side of the risotto like lava flowing from a volcano.  I married the two together and opened my mouth, I enjoyed this very much and continued until my plate was empty.

Pickled Tomatoes with Asparagus, Onions

I had the day off and wanted to do some pickling.  It has been a while and I had some jars leftover from this last Fall.  I have been told my pickled tomatoes are a hit and one of my friends likes them on his smoked salmon.
I used this info to create a mix of pickled veggie that someone would like to have on there smoked salmon.  I went to Natures Best and got myself some roma tomatoes, spring onions, asparagus and garlic.  I had enough to do 6 jars.  Once they were completed I saw that I did not pack the jars tight enough.  I could tell this by seeing how much empty space there was in each jar due to them being cooked in a water bath to seal them and preserve them.  Note to self next time, pack the veggie in tighter!!!
Below there are some picks of the process and the final product, enjoy!!!

Pickled Radishes

Just wanted to put up a picture of the radishes i pickled at home the other day.  I bought about 3 pounds of them and was able to can about 5 jars.   I about a week we will be able to see how they taste.  I used the pickled tomato recipe on these radishes.  Really want to do some asparagus, just waiting to have the price go down at my local grocer.

Craving Shellfish

I was off on Monday and was craving some shellfish.  I had been to work earlier in the day to work out and was going to be going by Standard Market.  I thought i would go in there and see what they had.  Sure enough they had some little neck clams and some mussels.  The little necks were about twice as much as the mussels.  I ended up getting a half pound of little neck clams and a pound of mussels. I went by the bakery and got myself a small french baguette to soak up the wonderful juices.  I went straight home.
I looked in my fridge to see what i could have with the clams and mussels.  I saw I had some onions, garlic, asparagus and kale.  I thought this would work well with my clams and mussels.  I sauteed them up, de- glazed with some wine and added the mussels and clams.  Minutes later the mussels and clams were open and ready to eat.  This hit the spot, I was so happy I was able to help with this craving of mine.
