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!

Once a month they do a drop in my neighborhood and I always look forward to the bounty of foods and household goods. My order may be small but I love joining in with everyone else to unload the truck! You may have a drop in your neighborhood. If you’re curious, I can tell you more!

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?
The feeling after you ate too much. The feeling after you ate too much.
Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, Ad. Oh, hi there. You’re pretty busy right now, aren’t you? Okay, I will make this brief. ⁠

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
