Sunday Scaries Cure

Have you ever had the Sunday Scaries? That anxious feeling that your weekend is coming to an end and your work week is about to start up again? Well I get them a lot! My cure is to listen to music while cooking a delicious meal. This past Sunday I decided to make parmesan risotto with salmon and sauteed broccoli with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. The creamy risotto was so comforting! The sweet salmon and broccoli with a little bit of crunch helped to round out the dish. It was so satisfying for a Sunday dinner and would be impressive for entertaining.
