How to make green rice, the side dish that goes with everything.

Back in September I decided to take some “beauty shots” of a dish I make often, sitting on a bed of green rice. And by often, I mean like alllll the time. These taco meatballs are quick and easy because the ingredients are ones I usually always have on hand in my pantry. Usually always? Yeah, that’s a thing.

I finally remembered to post that taco meatball recipe on Facebook the other day as well pin it to Pinterest. I am humbled that so many of you have tried this recipe and commented on how much you’ve enjoyed it. Thank you! That makes my heart sing!Last night as I was face-timing with my Aunt Patty, she and I chatted about them and how she likes to freeze them for future meals. What a great tip! Then she asked, “What’s in that green rice in the photo?”

Good question. Ironically, it is actually called Green Rice, a side dish with the world’s shortest description and the most unimaginative title on earth. Seriously, why mess with simplicity if that is actually the most perfect description? Green rice is a side dish that goes with everything. Pair it with grilled chicken, fajitas, steak and even taco meatballs. It is an easy to make rice dish made with Riceland long grain white rice, sweet onions, chopped cilantro and hot sauce. Yep, hot sauce. The “green” in green rice is chopped up cilantro. If you are pairing this with an Italian dish, by all means swap out the fresh cilantro with fresh Italian parsley.

Find this Green Rice recipe over on the Riceland blog. And……….. while you are there, browse a little. You’ll find all kinds of wonderful rice-inspired dishes.

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

⁠
Turkey?⁠
⁠
Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
