It is classic Venice rice dish. Usually it”s served with more liquid than in risotto. And the most important – it is really easy and quick. We made it a few times, and always family is delighted.

Sandwiches with tomatoes and olives
One more our breakfast recipe. Taste reminds pizza’s, when I added basil leaves. These sandwiches you will prepare very quickly but the taste will give you a good start for the whole day.
Cherry tomato tart
Sometimes happens that you buy something and forget where you were planning to use it. The same happened with cherry tomatoes. So I used this easy recipe. I was surprised when my hubby liked it, because he doesn’t like basil and oregano.
Rice salads with tuna
Very simple salad which you can prepare in the morning for lunch. I think they are more autumn or spring salads, but when we need something to take to work for lunch – it’s perfect, even in the summer.
Kids rice soup with green peas
My kids are tired of eating salads 🙂 so I decided to prepare them soup – simple, only with a few ingredients as kids like this. Also I had some fresh peas in a fridge, and for more satiety I added small turkey meatballs, but they are really optional.
Zucchini cake with tuna
Very delicious cake. I never have a chance to photo it because every time it disappears very quickly. It”s so juicy, not dry at all. And my husband can eat almost half of the pie at once 🙂
