  1. Delicious comfort food...I cut the recipe in half for the two of us...my only disappointment was there wasn't any liquid to pour over the rice...the little bit there was the potato absorbed it during it's cooking process...yummy...thanks for posting it...Made for Spring 2014 PAC =)

Like most everyone else on this site, I LOVE to cook. I really enjoy trying new recipes and adding my own flair to them. I never make a dish exactly the same way twice, I'm always improving it. Plus I tend to improvise a lot when I'm in the kitchen.
