Mexican Rice
This is something I used to cook way before I started “dieting” and now it seems every time I have it on the menu we end up with a takeaway! Tonight, I finally managed to cook it again and I forgot how good it is for a simple, 1 pan dish. It’s a great way of using up wrinkly veg too as you can chuck whatever you fancy in it.

I use dried Rice Noodles instead of egg ones and a gluten free alternative to soy sauce.

Just another lifestyle blog.
