Grilled Chicken & Brown Rice Salad Bowls

I plan our dinner menus every week, and sometimes it can be daunting.  I don't want to make the same meals all the time so I always make sure I keep my freezer stocked with Tyson^® Grilled & Ready® Chicken and my pantry full of Wishbone® Italian Dressing.  These are two staple ingredients that I pick up at Walmart so I can make plenty of delicious meals in a matter of minutes!

Spotlight of the Week!

Welcome to featuring you!  Our Spotlight of the Week goes to Pumpkins & Peonies for sharing these Puppy Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches.  My dogs are my babies as well and I love making them homemade treats.  I can't wait to try this recipe!  The party was a huge success due to all of you.  I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share.  I hope you enjoy the features!

Old-Fashioned Rice Custard

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Minute® Rice.

Our family loves rice; any way I make it, they eat it!  I used to cook rice the long way, then I switched to the bags and now I found Minute® Rice.  I recently just tried this rice and with the holidays approaching, I couldn't have found it at a better time.  It allows me to put together a meal or a dessert without a hassle.  We tried the white and brown.  They are great-tasting, fluffy and cook up in a matter of minutes!  The white rice can be used in virtually anything and the brown rice has a nice nutty flavor with all the nutritional value as regular long cooking brown rice; both are gluten free.  There is also a Multi-Grain Medley that I'm looking forward to trying soon.  It's a blend of long grain brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa and it conveniently cooks up in 10 minutes!  The other night we had some white rice leftover from dinner so I decided to make a quick Rice Custard.  It turned out creamy and delicious!

The Best of 2011

 

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone! Although I must say, it has been a wonderful one.  To celebrate I thought I'd count down the ten most popular posts of 2011.  There were some close calls as to which would end up in second, third and fourth.  However, the most popular post won by a landslide.  I hope you enjoy the countdown and I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Creamy Crockpot Rice Pudding

I was thrilled when I was told that I would get the chance to review the new Gooseberry Patch Quick & Easy Christmas Cookbook!  Not only is it filled with over 220 recipes, but also simple decorating ideas and gifts.  This past week I made two recipes and today I made the creamy rice pudding that is made in your crockpot!  How simple is that?  It turned out quite well and I love that I didn't really have to mess with it too much!
