The other day I made Mexican Rice for Enchiladas and have been hooked. I don’t often make actual rice in my rice cooker. As much as I like rice, it’s kind of boring. It’s easy to overcook or undercook or have burn to the bottom […]
I can’t remember what exactly I was thinking I was going to do with a couple pounds of spinach, but that happens sometimes when you shop at Costco. So, here we are staring at my refrigerator for the last several days going, “Well, I have […]
