I’m  Easy  Like  Sunday Morning.

Well, at least when it comes to cooking.

Quick. Easy. Simple.

But, ultimately delicious.

Because the Grandloves are here with us so much – 

the “yummy” part is non-negotiable.

And to a 3, 6 and 9-year old – the term “yummy” means

something totally different from us adults.

😀

I will be sharing one of my family’s favorite meals in 

a few weeks as part of Tyson’s A+ Program.

Here is a sneak peak….

The base of this yummy skillet is my

 

Homemade Easy Cheesy Mexican Rice. 

It packs a wallop of spices and veggies.. and if you are

serving this as a side dish, you can give it a generous douse of cheese, too.

One of these days, I will share how I make

Mexican Fried Cheese and Rice Balls with

my creamy Jalapeño Dipping Sauce.

    I’m going to try this recipe! I’m going to sub brown rice or I think I may even try it with quinoa. I think a garnish of green onions and fresh chopped tomatoes would be delish. This would make a great main dish served with nachos and/or some fresh picked veggies (while they last!). Thanks for sharing!!

    I’m not a fan of rice. But to pair it with cheese, I think this one tastes good.
