Spanish Rice<<<
Your cooking methods, are as I remember the Mexican mothers in the small town where I grew up, making their rice.
LOL, we didn’t put the beans in the rice, we served Pinto beans on the side.
But today, I put all kinds of things in things that I would not have 50 years ago.
Common Macaroni Salad, without a package of frozen mixed vegetables cooked with the macaroni, is boring to me.
Learned that trick from a Mormon Mother, with many small kids. Hide the veggies salad, was what she called it.
I call it good.
“Hide the veggies salad, was what she called it.”
Beans on the side is just fine, too. ;)
I’ll never forget the summer when the kids were small and we had a GLUT of zucchini (as we do this year...for only TWO of us, LOL!) and I hid it in EVERYTHING.
If I could’ve found a way to hide it in their breakfast oatmeal you know I would’ve!
Anyhow, I found a recipe for Chocolate Zucchini Brownies that was really good. Of course, my smartest of the three by that time wasn’t eating ANYTHING without a ‘snif test’ but those brownies fooled even him. :)
I’ll see if I can dig that up, or find a similar recipe on the web for us.
