Do you remember the Sweet Spanish Rice we made a couple weeks ago? Well, here’s an easy variation that you can do on it, creating a completely different taste sensation. I like this type of rice for shrimp. If you buy the pre-cooked shrimp, they can just be thrown in on top of the rice […]
This salad is light, tangy, and refreshingly delightful! You can serve it up fresh and warm, or you can make it ahead and refrig it for the hottest days. Potentially, it could be the basis for a whole-meal salad, if you added more rice and a source of protein, like beans or fish. Here’s the […]
This is a great rice dish to have with sausage, especially a mildly sweet or savory sausage instead of spicy hot ones. The very best rice you can use for this dish is the Spanish variety called Bomba. Italian rice called Arborio can be substituted if you can’t find Bomba.

If you’re lucky enough to live near a Whole Foods grocery store, then here’s a recipe for Quick scallops and asparagus risotto that you can make using their products. If not, my cheater’s version is below! This meal needs no addition except for a salad of fresh spring greens and herbs to make a great […]
Risotto can be made in large batches and either kept for a couple days in the fridge (no longer) or even frozen if you cook it to the barely al dente stage. No matter how complicated the recipe is that calls for risotto, the basics of preparation of the rice are basically the same. […]
If you’ve pre-cooked some rice and edamame during your once a week food preparation time, this meal will go together in under thirty minutes! You can often find edamame already shelled and cooked in the freezer section. This is how I buy it when I can find it, since there don’t seem to be any […]
Pre-cook some rice to serve this on, or boil up some orzo or couscous while you’re preparing the shrimp, and you’ll have an extremely tasty thirty minute meal. If you use raw shrimp, the cooking time will be a bit longer than listed here, but you’ll still be ready to eat in half an hour!
