Minute Ready to Serve Rice: An Easy Addition to Our Menu
When it comes to my family and food, I want to be certain I’m offering well-rounded meals that suit everyone’s tastes. One of our favorite side dishes is rice, and I was excited to get to try Minute® Ready to Serve Rice.
It seems like our family is always on the go or hurrying to get dinner on the table before something else needs to happen: dance practice, a meeting, open house. In fact, it’s so busy at my house that I find the need to plan ahead to be a very large part of what keeps me sane!
What I like about Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is that it gives me a quick solution to a side dish that is also tasty and healthy. And when I’m waddling around at 7 months pregnant trying to find something to feed my little family, I like quick solutions. Minute® Ready to Serve Rice comes in small, single-serving packets that can be heated right in the microwave without the addition of any other ingredients. Super easy.
For our first meal trying Minute® Ready to Serve Rice, I decided to keep things rather simple. There are awesome ideas out there for mixing Minute® Ready to Serve Rice with other ingredients to make some super awesome dishes (in fact, these ideas are right inside the packaging!). But, when you have a picky 8 year old, an even pickier 21 month old, and you’re short on time, sometimes it’s just easier to go with the simple solution.
Our dinner:
Baked chicken
Minute® Ready to Serve Rice: Brown and Wild Rice
Mixed Vegetables
Watermelon
Miss Sassy Pants, the 8 year old, really enjoyed helping me get all of the food together for dinner tonight. In fact, she was so excited about helping me make the Minute® Ready to Serve Rice that she demanded I snap and share a picture of her work:
While we were eating, I decided to get a little creative, and I mixed my chicken in with the rice. This made me think that if I was working out of the home, I would really enjoy having Minute® Ready to Serve Rice in my lunch box so that I could be creative and make some stir-in recipes. Even working here at home can get monotonous when it comes to lunch. I’m excited to use Minute® Ready to Serve Rice more often!
