How You Can Spruce Up Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and More With Minute® Rice!
Sending a special thanks to Minute® Rice for sponsoring this post and allowing us to share a variety of food options for you all.
As a foodie I know that I’m always trying new things and working to make quality food for myself and any guests I may have. Recently I had a chance to try out Minute® Rice and I jumped at the chance because I was curious to see just how flexible and convenient it could be. I let my friend know I was going to the event and her face was less than pleased… her reaction let me know that I really needed to try it out and share with you all how tasty, easy to use and versatile Minute® Rice can be for any meal.
For this event we had a lovely chef prepare a variety of meals made from Minute® Rice, you can see the menu below. What surprised me is that he was able to make something for every meal of the day; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Dessert.
Below you can see that Minute® Rice comes in many styles from Basmati or Jasmine to Brown rice there’s something that is sure to please the whole family.
Check out a small taste of what you can make with Minute® Rice in your kitchen. For a Breakfast or Brunch ready meal we have the Skillet Rice with Eggs, Ham, Mushroom, Cheese and Herbs… it was truly delicious and I could see myself eating it any time of day.
Breakfast/Brunch
For a great Lunch or Dinner you could try this Greek Sala on a Crunchy Rice Cake. I honestly never thought to make a rice cake in this manner but it definitely has my creative juices flowing. We also did a bit of a Minute® Rice Iron Chef, my team was Team Chicken, while we loses… our food was still awesome! LOL
Lunch/Dinner
And last but not least for Dessert we enjoyed this yummy Apple Rice Tart. Who says you can’t make more than rice pudding with rice?
