Riceland Foods, a year in review.

December 22, 2016 6 Comments

 

Riceland year in review (c)nwafoodie AD #ShopRiceland

“And roots, if they are to bear fruits, must be kept well in the soil of the land.” 

So are the wise words of Pearl S. Buck, author of The Good Earth. If I remember correctly, this is one of my sisters’ favorite Pearl S. Buck novels. While I wasn’t really into fictional stories, if they leaned on the side of history I was interested. It wasn’t until we checked out that old reel projector from the library and watched the black and white movie with Yul Brynnr that I was hooked. We watched that movie over and over again until it was time to check it back in… and it hooked me… deeply.

I still vividly remember when my mother would solemnly re-enact the words in her deep Yul-like voice, “Don’t sell the land.” It was a life lesson taught about when times are good and crops are plentiful it is easy to farm off the land. Then those inevitable years come along when water is scarce; disease takes root, or general hard times and poor health take their turns. Hang in there. Hang in there. Hang in there.

I am proud to create sponsored recipes for Riceland Foods, a farmer-owned agricultural marketing coop and the world’s largest miller and marketer of rice. Yes, you heard that right… the WORLD’S LARGEST! And based here in little ol’ Arkansas, since 1921. Generations after generation of Riceland farmers have produced fine quality rice.

Here’s a little virtual tour from the past year. Riceland rice is available, well… pretty much everywhere andonline. You’ll find their premium rice either under the Riceland brand name or private label.

      Thank you, Gina (and Thom!) I am going to play around with an Instapot rice recipe later today – so rice must be on the brain. Thanks regarding the relaunch! Blogger was awful at commenting ease and now I get to use recipe widgets to make it easier for people to print! Yea!

      Mwah!

⁠
Order the mix by February 1st so you can have it for the kickoff! ⁠
⁠
They ship everything via Priority Mail within 24 hours so, if the USPS is working smoothly, February 1 should be a very safe ‘order by’ date. ⁠
⁠
Great news, the recipe for making their Championship Chili is right on the Pure Texan Chili Mix bag and it is sooooooo easy to make.⁠
⁠
We’re talking simple no-fuss steps: ⁠
⁠
Brown two-pounds ground beef, drain and add mix, add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 10 ounces of water. Summer very slow for 45 minutes and voila! Done!⁠
⁠

ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you ea ad Brrrrrr. Okay, quick question… what do you eat when it’s freezing outside and all you want to do is to stay in your jammies and watch TV? ⁠
⁠
And now ask yourself… what do you reallllly want to eat that is quick to make, delicious, and suuuuuuuper easy to prepare?⁠
⁠
Ding! Ding! Ding! The correct answer is chili!⁠
⁠
This is not just any ol’ ordinary chili – this is @puretexanchili Championship Chili. This is chili that has won not one, not two, not ten… ya’ll seriously, this chili has WON EIGHTEEN STATE CHILI CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! ⁠
⁠
This is the quick, delicious, and super easy kind of chili that everybody wants on a freezing cold day when all you want to do is stay in your jammies and watch TV!⁠

The Big Game Day is less than two weeks away - plenty of time to order this chili mix (by February 1st).⁠

Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I Ad. Stop sneaking the spiced candied pecans!” I said this not once, not twice, but almost three times before Dennis beat me to it those words all over again. “I’m sneaking some more,” he happily declared.⁠
⁠
I’m delighted that he was enjoying them! I assured him that he could have allllll that his little heart desired… he just had to allow me to take a few photos for you!⁠
⁠
You see these spiced candied pecans are simple and easy go-to appetizers that we should always have the ingredients on hand. For those “just in case” moments when… ⁠
⁠
…Oh forget it! Every day is the perfect moment!⁠
⁠
This isn’t any ordinary candied pecan recipe – it’s extraordinary! We’re adding spices. ⁠
⁠
Not just any ordinary spice – we’re adding @puretexanchili mix.⁠
⁠
That’s right, chili mix!⁠
⁠
Link in bio for the recipe!⁠
⁠
Enjoy!

“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
