This easy recipe just about fills up our six quart crock pot, and lasts our two 8lb. Chihuahuas for quite a while. I freeze all the leftovers into pre-measured servings so all I have to do is defrost the...
This is another one which is based on the Wise Encyclopedia of Cookery [1970's Edition] recipe, but has been altered to suit our own tastes. It is not hot in the least bit. To add the spicy flavor, add...

These are a crispy, savory fried "pancake" which I serve with a yellow split pea soup. The original recipe came from a Consumer Reports Rice cookbook which I've liberally changed. I fry them on cast iron,...
My son's grandmother taught me how to make this wet spanish rice. I like it better than the dry rice. I usually season by taste so the season amounts are a guess. Also actual cooking time may vary depending...
A nice side dish from Moosewood New Classics. This is just a bit bland on its own, but really lovely as a side for spicy meat dishes. It is indeed a lovely golden color.
I hunted and hunted for a black bean and rice recipe. And it was only when I found this recipe, was my hunt over. This recipe come from a book that I found on sale for a $1. The book is called Bean Cookery...
States "this was made for Mariah Carey on Sept 12, 2003" in the article. Simple bean and rice recipe. Time is a big guess here. While strolling through the local scandal sheet, I found this recipe in back....
Warm, creamy, comforting and healthy in my book, this is a riff on Paula Deen's Coconut Mango rice. It matches the health-benefits of coconut milk with those of brown rice. Sodium is reduced from her recipe...
This is so easy as it is another oven friendly recipe. We make this for those days when company is coming and the house needs more attention than the meal.
You can serve this chili alone or over cooked brown rice. Try it with some light sour cream, onions, or reduced-fat cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. This recipe can be frozen for later use.
Tip: To check for done-ness, stick a toothpick into the thickest part of the fish. If it goes in easily, the fish is cooked. Put onto serving plates and cover to keep warm.
I'm not sure where mum got this recipe. But it is a lovely addition to family gatherings. Worth the extra effort. You can find the recipe for the soya sauce rice dressing in my recipes.

I started doing this to save some time in the evenings. I don't like using that 10 minute Uncle Ben's but I do like having my rice ready that fast ;O). I really like using sushi rice! Use whatever rice...
These are my own creation....my friends have raved about them at dinner parties! I combined my favorite aspects of two different stuffed grape leaves recipes to come up with this. They are a bit of work,...
This is a good dressing recipe that we like with pork chops or duck. (It can also be used as a stuffing.) I based it on a few different recipes for brown rice dressing, but think it has an extra richness...
This recipe was an accidental discovery, serendipity, if you will! I couldn't find a recipe that quite included everything I had in my pantry and I so wanted pumpkin rice, so I picked a little of this...
I came up with this after trying several variations of Indian carrot rice which I absolutely loved. Cooking time includes 1 hour resting time. The rice will be just warm when ready to serve. If you want...
This is a fun meal from Moosewood's Lowfat Favorites. The cookbook says this makes a lower fat substitute for felafel (which I love) - I don't know about replacing felafel, but these are good for their...
A casserole that's fairly mild, but sneaks up on you. I modified a recipe here that had too much fat/salt for us. A personal bias, I hate throwing out the end of packages of food and the directions for...
