What's For Dinner?

[Marie_M]

The cranberry-walnut rice sounds good. Do you have a recipe?

Here you go...it's really simple to make and super yummy!


3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2 cups long-grain rice (not minute or quick-cooking rice)
2 cups chicken stock or broth
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 oz.) can whole-berry cranberry sauce (will use only half)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Sauté onion and celery in butter or olive oil over medium heat until slightly tender; add rice and stir to coat in butter or olive oil.

Add chicken stock or broth, water, salt and pepper; bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer; cover and let cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time.

After rice is cooked, stir in half a can of the cranberry sauce and the walnuts.


I especially like to serve this as a side dish with a mild white fish, such as tilapia or orange roughy.

DH sang at a seniors apartment complex tonight. They had a covered dish dinner - grilled hot dogs with fixings, chips and dessert. Dh didn't tell me until today so I had to take deli potato salad and cold slaw. One African-American lady broke out in song by herself and a Latino lady asked if she could give a testimony. It was a wonderful evening.

spaghetti

Supper salads, and hot crusty bread. Virgin banana pina coladas (sp?) for dessert. We went for wings instead, and thank God we did, I was going to use some of that bad romaine lettuce.
