I was going to ask you how you make your Spanish Rice, after reading that that is what you are having for dinner tonight.
Thank you!
Sounds really yummy! I have wanted a good tried and true recipe for Spanish Rice for quite some time.
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
I made this rice tonight, and my husband said it was the BEST Spanish rice he has ever eaten! Thanks so much!!
Melissa, that is awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Love, Wardeh
