Chicken Carbonara anyone?

Last night I decided to keep it simple. If you read my other blog you'll know that I got a lot done yesterday so by the time it came down to fixing dinner, I wanted to keep it simple and fast.
We had spaghetti and some garlic bread. Kids and husband eat everything, mommy is happy!!!

So for tonight, I am making Chicken Carbonara Risotto. Now I have to tell you this week has kind of been an experimental one for me, I got tired of making the same things and when it was time to write down the menus, I totally drew a blank. So, out come the cookbooks and the recipe boxes. I usually make portuguese food, cause well, that's what I know how to make well. LOL
Next week is pay day, which means I need to get my menus done. I already know I'm cooking all portuguese so it will be fun to share my recipes here. Just hope you all like them :)

Here's the recipe for tonight's dish. As always let me know if you try them and like them or not.
