I do my rice in the microwave and it comes out GREAT!! you just put equal amounts of minute rice and water into a bowl, cover, microwave for 5 minutes! I usually let it set for a couple of minutes while I set the table or whatever! Fluff w/ a fork and it is ready to eat!

"We tried this recipe when we had an abundance of eggs, and peppers and onions in our garden, and needed a different dish for our church fellowship. We tweaked the recipe a bit with a pound and one-half of hot Italian sausage and a couple of chopped Jalepenos from the garden instead of the canned chiles. We also used a red and green bell pepper and two good sized onions and salt and pepper in the eggs. It was a crowd-pleaser and several people have asked for the recipe. There are no leftovers."

I love that stuff, we get small tubs of it at Sam's club.

I have been known to flounder on it

yea, I put a few tablespoons in a bowl & microwave it!
ughh! it is soo rich!!

Speaking of "HEALTHY"

Healthy Crockpot Recipes

High Flavor, Low Sodium, Low Fat
Have you noticed that many crockpot recipes use canned condensed soups, purchased soup and salad dressing mixes, and big chunks of meat? All of those ingredients make delicious recipes, of course, but having a good selection of low sodium, low fat crockpot recipes will make you a better cook.
There are things you can do to update regular slow cooker recipes, of course. Try refrigerating canned broths before using them. The fat will congeal in a layer on top of the broth so it can be removed before you add the broth to the slow cooker. Look for low sodium and low fat ingredients. Trim fat and skin from meats before cooking. Try vegetarian recipes once a week. And any recipe that uses a lot of fresh vegetables will be healthier than one with canned this and that.
