What are your favorite types of foods? Because life’s too short for boring meals. Let’s be real: food is life. It’s more than just sustenance; it’s a cultural experience, a form of self-care, and a way to connect with others. But with so many cuisines and dietary preferences out there, it can be overwhelming to navigate the world of food. In this post, we’re diving deep into the delicious…

One of the new recipies I’ve discovered is Mexican rice. It’s pretty tasty, and this is the simple version--for a fancier one, add chicken broth to taste!

Ingredients:

However many servings of rice you want

1 small box tomato sauce (look in the ‘Mexican’ part of the store; there should be small boxes or cans of generic tomato sauce, and if you read the label you can pick one without any added allergens)

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Salt

Optional:

1-3 Bell peppers (the more rice you have, the more pepper you need!)

1 Sausage, with no added fillers--I prefer the Kroger brand ‘butcher-style’ sausage myself, but choose your own favorite!

Recipie:

1. Cook the rice: Put 1 1/2 parts rice to 2 parts water in a pot with a lid, cover, and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to ‘low’, leave covered, and set a timer for twenty minutes. At the end of the twenty minutes, turn the heat off and fluff rice with a fork.

2. While the rice is still hot, pour in the tomato sauce and sprinkle in spices to taste. Stir. If not using the optional ingredients, you’re done here!

3. If using, chop the bell pepper and sausage. (Alternately, chop them while the rice is cooking.) Add them to the rice. Stir again.
