Yellow Rice is so easy to make and tastes delicious. It’s the perfect side or great in burritos as well.
I’m back from a much needed break and hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year’s! I just did the bare minimum to keep my blog going and and ready to get back at it. The kids are back in school and I’m ready to roll (mostly).
I made homemade Yellow Rice and you won’t want to buy the boxed kind after you see how easy it is. It goes well with most main dishes and you can use it in my Cheesy Rice and Chicken Casserole and Slow Cooker Cheesy Rice and Chicken Casserole.
How ever you eat this Yellow Rice, it’s bound to be good. It’s completely from scratch and is ready in under 30 minutes. If you’re ready for an easy side dish, I’ve got you covered. Now relax and recover this week when possible and get ready for the new Netflix Gilmore Girls episodes! That’s right, NEW EPISODES of Gilmore Girls!!
