There’s just something about presenting food in a bowl that makes it more comforting to eat.

Quinoa bowls, smoothie bowls, and noodle bowls. All of those dishes can be served on a plate, but for some reason, it seems more comforting in a bowl. Am I right?

And with the winter being in the single digits and teens lately, I need all of the comfort food I can get! And while soup is high on my list of foods to eat just about every day, I also crave nourishing bowls with hearty ingredients.

And since I’m trying to stick to my goal of eating healthier this year, I found the perfect product to keep me on track. Have you heard of Village Harvest Rice & Grains? It’s natural and unprocessed, which makes it easiest to keep those New Year’s goals in mind. Their rice and grains are also filled with fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, along with a variety to choose from. So whatever your pleasure is, Village Harvest has a product designed for you.

So when I had the opportunity to try Village Harvest Arborio Rice, I practically jumped at the chance. Their rice is a great base for risotto, which is one of my favorite dishes. And Village Harvest “superfino” grade is the highest quality available, which makes me feel confident in my rice selection.

If you’re a fan of risotto like I am, then these Creamy Parmesan, Mushroom and Pea Risotto Bowls were made for you. The thick and creamy texture, along with the fresh ingredients, provides a delicious taste that is sure to fill you up and provide you with the perfect touch of comfort food.

Like most of my recipes, these risotto bowls are a breeze to whip up! The hardest part is stirring to achieve the creamy texture, which isn’t really difficult at all.

And did I mention how simple (and delicious) the ingredients are? I chose to use mushrooms since they’re my favorite vegetable. I also incorporated frozen peas and grated Parmesan cheese. Along with that, comes some garlic, chicken broth, and white wine. That’s it!

So if you’re looking for a nourishing bowl of comfort food, these Creamy Parmesan, Mushroom and Pea Risotto Bowls definitely hit the spot. Filled with a creamy texture and rich taste, these bowls will keep you going all winter long!
