    I was going to ask you how you make your Spanish Rice, after reading that that is what you are having for dinner tonight. :D

    Thank you!

    I am going to try this. We have been searching for Spanish Rice recipe. We refuse to buy the packaged kind at the grocery story. It is full of MSG. Thanks for the recipe.

    WE had this the other night with our Garlic Beef Enchiladas. My husband liked it very much, but wants more seasoning in it next time. He likes strong seasonings. LOL

    As I had mentioned with the refried beans (at the refried beans page)…I loved this rice. My two year old COULD NOT GET ENOUGH! We do Taco Tuesday each week (but sometimes burritos, or healthy nachos) and this rice is a fabulous addition!
