Need recipes to use rice

[Guest]

You can make rice taste lots of different ways by cooking it with

other ingredients. Think of all the flavors of Rice-a-Roni that are

on the shelves. You can make your rice just as interesting, but

without all the chemicals! I just experiment rather than use specific

recipes, but here are some ideas:

Use broth or part-broth-part-water when cooking the rice

Use canned tomatoes and Italian or Mexican spices

Mixed creamy canned soups with the rice

Add onions, peppers, celery, carrots, broccoli, etc.

After the rice is cooked, add some cheese (my kids love this)

Combine with kidney beans, black beans, corn, salsa, etc.

Rice pudding!

I also use rice as a base for other foods. For example, put chili

over it and it’s a very filling bowl of food. Or I’ll put rice,

veggies and canned soup in a casserole dish, put some chicken on

top,and then bake it all together.

As you can probably tell, rice is a staple in our house. We buy large

bags of white rice at Costco, bulk brown rice at a grocery store, and

eat rice probably 2-3 times a week, at least as often as potatoes.
