I am interested in your favorite easy to cook rice dish. I am trying my best to start eating healthy again and I'm going to be doing a lot of rice.

This is one I use all the time and sometimes I double it if Rod is going to eat with me. You can use garlic too but I don't like garlic so I leave it out. Sometimes I will add celery and mushrooms too.

thanks Debbie I actually found this one and may give it a try. I don't have many of those veggies but I can add carrots, mushrooms and onion. I do like garlic so I will use that.

Sending you one via email. It's for stuffed peppers. I've only made the filling but as long as it's not a green bell pepper, I know it would be delicious. Most of my favorite recipes would be too spicy for your taste. Forks Over Knives has a great recipe collection and you could substitute rice for any of the grains.

Thanks Pam you are right, I don't like spicy food much.

Debbie I made a version of the one you sent for dinner tonight. Very good.

Good For you Cheryl! This is a doable lifestyle.

That sounds delicious Debbie.

We like stuffed zucchini boats. I combine cooked brown rice with sauteed chopped onion, and bell pepper. I then add chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned (drained), and canned, drained black beans. The zucchini I slice in half length-wise and scoop out the center enough to make a boat that will hold the veggies. I use an apple coring tool to do that. You can add the scooped zucchini, chopped, to the mix or hold for a soup later. I will first steam the boats for a few minutes then stuff them with the rice/veggie mixture. Then bake, lined up in an oven proof dish, in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. This is a great dish for parties since you can do this a day ahead and refrigerate until time to actually bake them.

Farley thanks that sounds good. I would do away with the peppers as neither of us like them. I would add the zucchini back. I am finding rice is very rilling and am learning to acquire a taste for it.

Pam I got your recipe and I do get Forks Over Knives need to look more.

Try the pesto recipe in F over K. Fabulous. I skip the yeast. Awesome with brown rice pastas and on veggie sandwiches.

Do you sometimes use sundried tomatoes?

Farley's idea for stuffed zucchini is great. I used to make this one but now I use lentils instead of ground meat. http://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/stuf ... usa-mahshi
I've taken it to pot lucks and everyone loves it. If you don't have luck hollowing out the zucchini, you can just half them length-wise and scoop out the seeds - or even cut them into large cubes and ladle the filling on top. Very forgiving recipe.

I love, love sundried tomatoes but I avoid the ones packed in oil. I don't need any fat in my diet.

Bought zucchini today and have the rest that I need to make that. The Sun Dried that I have are not packed in oil so I may sub/add them along with the tomatoes.

Like Pam said, sundried are fine as long as they're not packed in oil.


I like the idea of using lentils in the zucchini boats! Lentils are a favorite of mine. Hmmm, next time I make curried lentils I'll use the leftovers to fill zucchini.
