Minute Ready to Serve Rice: An Easy Addition to Our Menu
When it comes to my family and food, I want to be certain I’m offering well-rounded meals that suit everyone’s tastes. One of our favorite side dishes is rice, and I was excited to get to try Minute® Ready to Serve Rice.
It seems like our family is always on the go or hurrying to get dinner on the table before something else needs to happen: dance practice, a meeting, open house. In fact, it’s so busy at my house that I find the need to plan ahead to be a very large part of what keeps me sane!
What I like about Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is that it gives me a quick solution to a side dish that is also tasty and healthy. And when I’m waddling around at 7 months pregnant trying to find something to feed my little family, I like quick solutions. Minute® Ready to Serve Rice comes in small, single-serving packets that can be heated right in the microwave without the addition of any other ingredients. Super easy.
For our first meal trying Minute® Ready to Serve Rice, I decided to keep things rather simple. There are awesome ideas out there for mixing Minute® Ready to Serve Rice with other ingredients to make some super awesome dishes (in fact, these ideas are right inside the packaging!). But, when you have a picky 8 year old, an even pickier 21 month old, and you’re short on time, sometimes it’s just easier to go with the simple solution.
Our dinner:
Baked chicken
Minute® Ready to Serve Rice: Brown and Wild Rice
Mixed Vegetables
Watermelon
Miss Sassy Pants, the 8 year old, really enjoyed helping me get all of the food together for dinner tonight. In fact, she was so excited about helping me make the Minute® Ready to Serve Rice that she demanded I snap and share a picture of her work:
While we were eating, I decided to get a little creative, and I mixed my chicken in with the rice. This made me think that if I was working out of the home, I would really enjoy having Minute® Ready to Serve Rice in my lunch box so that I could be creative and make some stir-in recipes. Even working here at home can get monotonous when it comes to lunch. I’m excited to use Minute® Ready to Serve Rice more often!

In just 60 seconds, you have fully cooked rice for any meal or snack. You’ll never get bored with your lunch since there are 10 flavorful and wholesome varieties.
