	Going Nutz – A Staff Favorite! Use your favorite rice cooking method (no need to pre-wash or pre-rinse the rice). Place rice in bowl and and top it off (just before serving, with chopped dry roasted nuts. We like almonds the best as they bring out the sweetness of the rice.

Form balls with hands wet with salt water and flatten on top and bottom. Place on counter/plate. On top of rice place a few bite-size slices of cooked chicken, or ham, or any other protein you like. Add a spoonful of any sauce (teriyaki, barbeque, salsa). Watch your kids yum them up! As an alternative, put the protein in the middle as a surprise.
	Veggie Confetti – Easy and Filling! Steam, to your liking, a mix of corn, peas, and/or carrots. Sauté your choice of celery and or onions in enough butter to coat bottom of sauté pan. Mix steamed and sautéed veggies into rice at the same time. Serve warm or wait until cool and add vinaigrette salad dressing to taste.

2nd day rice:  reheat leftover rice thoroughly before serving. Add a small amount of liquid to your cold rice to reheat. For each cup of cooked rice, add 2 tablespoons liquid. Cover and heat on top of the range or in the oven until warm throughout. Or microwave: cover and cook on HIGH about 1 minute per cup. Rice freezes well. After cooked rice has cooled in the fridge, transfer it to freezer bags in quantities needed for future meals. Remember to label and date!
