I have a very picky eater in my house; a beautiful, 17-year-old teenager. She has always been a picky eater, even as a baby. Her diet mainly consists of chicken, french fries, mac & cheese, and pizza, with a burger every now and then. The only vegetable she will eat is corn.
While I also like chicken, french fries, mac & cheese, and pizza, there are other foods that I also enjoy. The only problem is...I am a single mom, and although I have two girls, April (above) is the only one left at home. Soooo, if I want to enjoy other food besides chicken, french fries, mac & cheese or pizza, I am left with a lot of leftovers, which usually end up in the refrigerator where they are soon forgotten. And that poses a big problem, because it is such a waste, especially since money is tight.
I love rice (April doesn't), and I discovered rice in a single serve container. Last year, I came across Minute® Ready to Serve Rice.
Minute® Ready to Serve Rice comes in plain white, brown & wild rice, and chicken flavored. While all three are delicious (the chicken is a little salty for my taste), I prefer the plain white rice. They also have Spanish rice, multi-grain rice, new jasmine rice, Italian rice, yellow rice, and pilaf rice mix, but I haven't tried all these varieties.
Since my daughter only eats chicken, french fries, mac & cheese, and pizza, I usually serve Minute® Ready to Serve Rice with chicken. Here is a picture of our supper tonight.
Yes, it is very simply and quick to fix. I had rice, with butter. April had french fries. I usually prefer my rice with butter, but it is also good with gravy.
The best thing about Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is that it is fixed fast in the microwave (just 60 seconds), and it is a single serving, so no leftovers.
Another way I like to eat Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is in the morning with butter and sugar...don't turn your nose up until you try it, because it tastes so good...warm rice, with butter and a little sugar...YUM!!
Minute® Ready to Serve Rice is a healthy and convenient option for the busy mom and working professional who wants more than your typical sandwich for lunch.
And while rice and chicken are so good together, I might have to try rice with french fries, mac & cheese, and pizza.

This was a great way for me to introduce my kids to brown rice. I could fix it in a hurry and then I'd mix it in with chicken or veggies.
I love minute rice. I hadn't seen the little bowls before. Those would be great to take for lunches at work. Thanks for the post!
I love rice--was my lunch all while i was preggers =) The little bowls are super.
I love using the instant rice. It is easy to make and you can make as much or as little as you want. :)
Rice is staple food here in Asia, so we don't have the instant kind. :)
These are great for the portion control. I'll look for them:)

I loved this. I think it is so important for moms to teach their daughters that confidence is your most attractive attribute. Now it's time to avail Locksmith Leeds for more information.
