Rice, one of those foods I probably don't make enough. We used to live in the little town of Vidalia, GA, when I was growing up, and there they served it with things like fried chicken and with gravy on top, like mashed potatoes. That seemed so foreign to me, but as I've gotten older, I've found that is just normal for certain areas of the country. I still don't make it that way, though. We use it for:
Cooked, plain, as a side with broccoli chicken casserole or stir fries.
In creamy chicken and rice.
In soups, primarily chicken or turkey soup (I use a mix of brown and a wild rice blend in soup or the creamy chicken and rice, if I have the wild rice blend onhand)
For fried rice.
In Crystal's Mexican casserole (the one that had Rotel, hamburger, etc...)
Oh, and when I make homemade dog food, I use a fair amount of it. Cheap, less allergenic than some grains, gluten-free, all that.
And that's about it...how about you?
