you’ve got a clean, simple and d’lishes meal OR side dish!
I gotta tell you guys… ever since Katie joined the family (can you believe she’ll be seven months in just a few days?)
I’m finding that the less ingredients a recipe calls for the better. Perhaps I should call the blog, “clean, simple, and practically-no-ingredients-necessary!) because this seems to be my new favorite theme.
Sometimes less is more… using less ingredients really gives each flavor a chance to shine (all while saving you time in the kitchen!).
I served this as a side dish with dinner but you could easily make it a meal of its own by adding a little chicken or fish.

Katie’s enthusiasm shines right through the screen – she’s a doll!
D’lish!!! I LOVE fruity rice dishes. This would be awesome with some simple grilled chicken. Thanks for the recipe and Katie always makes me smile – she’s adorable
Yum Dani!!!

Katie sure is cute. Photogenic like her mom.
I’m going to incorporate your idea of having a weekly grain cooked up and ready to go. Just that simple idea has wheels spinning in my head. So simple, yet I think it could revolutionize my meals! Thanks for the idea and showing how well it worked out with this dish.
