This came as a complete freestyle on a random week day. My daughter loves the yellow colour. Therefore, I told myself: why not to combine what she likes. Plus it is also very nutritious, indeed – Yellow Healthy Risotto.
This easy and fast meal is suitable for kids from the age of 2. Make your food easy & happy!
