Mushroom Risotto with Spinach (serves 2)

One of my INR LOWERING recipes.  You know the times when your INR is higher so at the top end or past your Therapeutic Range.  I use my food to balance this out.  I work with my doctors to reduce changing my Warfarin dose and adjust my Vitamin K intake instead.  This is loaded with spinach which is a Vitamin K booster.  I sometimes take this if I fancy a glass of wine or two.  Adding some balance and still enjoying myself.  

Not a great recipe to freeze, its so much better served immediately after cooking.  Don't be scared of Spinach when on warfarin.  Our bodies still need it, just learn how to manage your intake.
