We spent the weekend doing some home remodeling projects that left my husband and I aching and exhausted. Getting old kinda stinks. But I'm so ready to start a new week and get my house back in order. School will be starting before you know it and I have tons of planning to do. I also picked up a free rice cooker this weekend from Freecycle so you'll be seeing a rice theme in most of my cooking as I learn to play with my new toy. Here is what's cooking this week.
Breakfasts: choice of...
Oatmeal or Farina, freezer pancakes or muffins, fruit
Dinners:
Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry
Mexican Vegetarian Casserole
Confetti Tortellini Salad
Tuna sandwiches and veggie tray
Quiche Lorraine and fruit salad
Fried Rice with leftover meat and veggies
Leftover Buffet

That recipe for Broccoli Beef is one of our favorites!
Congratulations on the rice cooker!It couldn't happened to a nicer person.
Now if I could just find a free blender.
Being a die hard 4th generation Texan, my dad was not from far East Texas which is close to the Louisiana border. Therefore, he thought rice was a breakfast food. Cooked in buttery salted water and slathered with more butter, sugar, cinnamon and cream, it was a breakfast cereal. My mother on the other hand started everything with onions, bell pepper, and celery. Whether it was a hamburger, macaroni, tomato and cheese thingy or a gumbo dish, she made it that way and added RICE at least with the gumbo thingy or stuffed bell peppers.
I got a rice cooker for Christmas and I love it. I don't follow the instructions on mine, I do a 2 parts liquid to 1 part rice and add a little extra liquid. Mine seems to cook fast. Love using homemade chicken stock, a little mirapoix (frozen from Kroger 88cents a pack and a life saver). Add a little butter when done. My bottom of the rice always turns brown, but I love the crusty rice.
Have fun with your new freecycle gift. Isn't life good?
