Apple Rice Casserole
"This delicious side dish is a real change of pace. The rice soaks up the juice from the apples and becomes plump and sweet. Leftovers can be used for breakfast, hot or cold, served with a dollop of yogurt. Recipe from the cookbook Lean and Luscious and Meatless."

Amazing rice dish with fall flavors. A sweetish side to go with savory main course. Loved it. -
This recipe is amazing! I halved it and made it for breakfast for my family, everyone loved it! It's really nice and healthy with both fruit and wholegrains :). Thanks for a great recipe! -
I only made a half portion of this recipe which was a big mistake! I had enough for 3 servings and am wishing I had lots more hanging around as leftovers! This was an easy, unique and yummy side dish and I will certainly be making it again! Thanks for a great recipe! -
I made 1/2 the recipe. This was good nice and hearty.

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
