The Menu:
Rice Pilaf
The Original Recipe:
This was printed off from Menus4Moms website. It was good. I like the peas in there. It's an all-in-one side dish!
I know I have been lacking in the "posting new recipes" department lately. I have actually been trying to make things I all ready have printed out and have made before. I have a GIGANTIC cookbook full of recipes I have collected off of the internet through out the years. I have definitely made all most all of them before. I think my blog has like 300 recipes on it!! I cannot believe I have made that many new dishes! I still do make some recipes that I haven't even posted because they are so natural to me that I don't even think about writing them down to post. I will have to work on that... Anyway, I am trying to get back to the basics around here and to not be so fancy with our suppers and trying a new recipe every night. I have bound my copy/paste/print fingers together so that I will not print out any more new recipes to try. I am going through the recipes I have printed out all ready, whether I have all ready made it before or not, and I am going to be happy about it. :oD At least I know I have printed out a bunch that I haven't tried yet so I still have something to share. (And no one needs to know that I printed them out at the exact time that I was determined to not print anymore out!)
Rice Pilaf
3 T. olive oil
1 medium onion chopped

Saute garlic, onion and peppers until tender, add rice and brown lightly. Mix the rest of the ingredients and add to pan. Cover and cook 20-25 minutes (about 40 minutes for brown rice).
* I added curry and tumeric to our rice pilaf and it was great!
