I enjoyed this rice dish very much! The only change I made was to omit the tomato sauce as I wanted a lighter tomato flavor. Due to the decreased liquid I only simmered for about 10 minutes. It turned out great and I will be making this again!

Once a working family with four kids, we are now empty-nesters with four grandchildren. Those large family dinners have been reduced to creative dinners for two. :)
I manage two departments and a large database at a local hospital and tend to work long hours, but love to get in the kitchen with my wonderful husband.
During the summer months I live in the yard, either gardening, landscaping or swimming. In the fall we pick grapes and make wine. In the winter months I tend to bake, make candles, bath salts and body butters. I am also a blogger and photographer.
For us? It's about the freedom of being creative. :)
