Flavored Sticky Rice Without the Steamer

Ever wanted that Asian style sticky rice but don't have a steamer? Never fear! I have the quick and easy way to get your desired outcome.

For awhile now I've had a sudden fascination with chopsticks and eating with them. But I could never get my rice right. After some experimenting I finally came close to sticky rice.

You don't have to buy any sort of special rice. All you need is Minute White Rice.

Follow the directions on the box with adding water. If one cup of rice, one cup of water. Two cups of water, two cups of rice etc.

Bring the water to a boil and pour in the rice. Stir the rice once and put a lid on it. Turn the eye OFF and LEAVE the pot ON the eye. This will trap the steam in and continue to cook it at the same time.

Let sit until all the water has left the pot. Stir once and serve.

For flavor add a little bit of Soy Sauce (or a different type of sauce) just to tease your taste buds and cook chicken and a vegetable with it.

Enjoy!

Note: Don't add any salt or butter to the rice.

Quick & Easy Vegetarian Style Pizza

Not to long ago I had a doctor's appointment. And he told me I needed to lose some weight. So, after watching a few episodes of Dr. Oz I decided to get started. What I decided on was a all protein vegetarian diet. I wasn't too happy, since I'm a meat lover but it worked out fine.

My problem was, finding something to eat. Usually all my meals consist of meat and...meat. Yeah, I love meat. So, when I was faced with this problem I decided to eat, pizza.

Now, if anyone knows me. They know I don't eat salad, onions, broccoli, spinach, carrots, lettuce, etc. So, I had a real problem.

What I ended up with was a finely chopped vegetarian pizza.

 

 Ingredients:

1 can of Great Value Pizza Crust Dough

1 green bell pepper

1/2 Onion (You can add the whole onion if desired)

Spinach

Fresh Mushrooms

Mozzarella Cheese

Sauce:

Ragu Traditional Sauce

Badia Complete Seasoning

Directions:

Preheat the oven according to the can's directions.

Pop the can and roll out the dough. Thin it out so it's not so thick and you get a bigger pizza.

For the sauce add the Complete Seasoning to taste in the Ragu Traditional Sauce. Stir well and put on the dough. Because the dough will stretch out some while cooking, spread sauce to the edges.

For the green bell pepper, onion, spinach, and mushrooms. Finely chop all, if desired. Some may enjoy bigger chunks more.

Add on the cheese to desired amount.

 Cook until the cheese is melted and there's a golden color to the crust. Serve hot and enjoy.

Tip: For reheating use the toaster oven or oven. The microwave will make it soggy and it won't be enjoyable.
