Momma’s Quick and Healthy Rice Dinner

Saute until softened in 1 Tbsp. Butter and 2 Tbsp. Red Palm Oil (or more):

1 chopped carrot

1 rib celery, minced

1 cup corn

¼ cup freshly minced onion

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 small red bell pepper, chopped fine

small amount shredded cabbage

1 cup minced cooked chicken (optional)

3 cups brown rice

Add 6 cups of homemade chicken stock (or water and bouillion) and add to rice and veggies/meat.

Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, for 50-60 minutes. 

Scramble 5 eggs and chop fine.  Add to rice along with 2 Tbsp. of freshly minced parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.

All of these veggies and spices can be adjusted to your family’s tastes. You could add any other veggies your family enjoys, or are sitting around in your fridge. This is perfect for using up leftovers.  Since I began making this, I use more veges than written.

This makes enough for our entire family with a little leftover!

Blessings!

I love making this for dinner and everyone enjoys it!  Some eat it as soup with crackers, some eat it drained and wrapped in a tortilla.  Both soups and burritos receive a generous helping of shredded cheese (Jack and cheddar mixed together) topping!

Chili Con Elote

6 Tbsp red palm oil (use olive or canola if you haven't red palm oil, but red palm is wonderful tasting and very good for you!)

1 chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 or 2 green peppers, seeded and chopped (I used 1)

4 cups chicken stock or broth

2 cups chopped tomatoes

2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)

8 cups cooked pinto beans (begin with 4 c. dried) or use well-rinsed canned beans if you like.

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 Tbsp. salt

2 tsp. oregano

Saute onion and garlic in the oil.  Add green pepper and saute 2-3 minutes more.  Add chicken stock or broth, the tomatoes, and the corn.  Mash two cups of the beans, then add them, the whole beans and the seasonings to the pot.  Bring to a boil, then bring down to a simmer.  Simmer, covered, 30 minutes. 

Enjoy and let me know how you like it!
