Sometimes I feel like all I eat is rice! I love it, but I'm always loking for new ways to fix it or use it in recipes. So I thought we could make a list of recipes or meal ideas using rice. I'll start:

1. Chicken and rice soup
2. Vegetable fried rice
3. Chicken fried rice
4. Stir fry over rice
5. Stuffed bell peppers
6. Coconut milk rice (make as usual but use coocnut milk in place of half the water)


What else? I know there are tons of other things I make with rice that I can't think of right now. What about you?

I just mainly cook up come chicken and vegetables and have it with rice. I don't do too much with it most days just 'cause it's faster. haha

Can you share the recipes for 1, 2 & 4 please? =3

Rice, Ground beef, gluten-free seasoning/spices, rolled up in a corn or gluten-free tortilla

For chicken and rice soup I make this: http://crockpot365.b...-rice-soup.html

Using chicken instead of turkey of course.

I don't really have a recipe for stir fry or vegetable fried rice I make it a little differnt each time. For fried rice start out with cooked cold rice (leftovers work best). Chop up onions, carrot and whatever other veggie you want to use. Saute some onions in a few tablspoons of oil until translucent. Add other veggies and cook to desired softness. Add rice and stir frequently. Add more oil or a little water if it's sticking too much. Sprinkle liberally with gluten-free soy sauce (I use coconut Aminos instead) and stir fry until heated through. If you want egg, move everything to one side of the pan, poor in scrambled egg and once it's cooked mix with veggies and rice. I vary the oil I use. Sometiems I use sesame oil or garlic infused olive oil. It's always a little different. Stirfry is the same concept except I don't put the rice in the skillet I just top cooked rice with stir-fried veggies.

9. Winter carnival:
1/4 c. onion chopped
1/4 c. green pepper chopped
1 lb. ground beef
2 cups cooked rice
1 can tomatoes in sauce OR one jar spaghetti sauce
1/3 c. Karo syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf

Brown ground beef until cooked through. Add onions and peppers and cook until cooked through. Add rice and the rest of ingredients and stir. cook over medium low heat, stiring frequently until cooked through. Remove bay leaves befor eating. The longer it cooks the better it will be. It's usually better the next day. This is good topped with cheese (any kind from parm to cheddar works) if you can have cheese.

11. Porcupine meatballs: http://southernfood..../r/bl51023b.htm
Heinz and Pacific foods make gluten-free tomato soup (not sure they are dairy free) but they are not condensed. May have to leave out water to try the recipe above. I have not made these since going gluten free but I think I want to try it now.

YUM! These sounds so good and I haven't had them for years. I sorta forgot about them. When my mother made them, she used tomato sauce instead of soup. I don't recall her putting chili powder in them either.

This makes a TON of food. Very cheap and easy though.

Yes there are lots of ways to make them. That's just the first recipe that popped up without a bunch of additives. Many recipes also use things like powdered soup mixes to flavor the meat which could have gluten and other junk in them. I like my recipes as natural and simple as possible. These are so easy to change up to your tastes with whatever spices you like.

My mother cooked very simply and it was good. She didn't have 40 or 50 jars of herbs and spices in her cabinets like I do.

Another thing she used to make was a 7-layer casserole to include veggies and ground beef with rice being but one layer and home-canned tomato juice poured over the top and then baked. I'm sure it was a 1940's or 50's recipe.
