Looks fantastic! I feel lucky that rice, white or brown, is one ingredient my whole family agrees on. We just like rice! Although brown rice is certainly chewier, so I tend to cook it longer to soften it up. I probably cook all the health benefits out of it anyway lol :) Marcelle https://www.blogger.com/profile/10317430591637531886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-90964705959732016992018-11-14T17:26:20.480-05:002018-11-14T17:26:20.480-05:00This looks so delicious, my friend.
