Is rice pilaf good for you?

Rice has been found to be very easy to digest. It is low in fat, low in cholesterol, high in starch, and has a high nutritional content. Brown rice has a lower carb content than white rice.

Can I freeze rice pilaf?

You can! Like any rice you want to squeeze as much excess water out of the rice before storing in an airtight container.

We recommend eating within 3 months. To reheat let the rice thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in the microwave or stove.

    Loved how the rice turned out! I have been looking for the Longhorn Steakhouse inspired Brussels sprouts recipe. I had them last year while visiting friends in Texas. Unfortunately we don’t have a Longhorn in California but I loved their brussel sprouts They were a spicy sweet
