Arroz a la Mexicana - Mexican Rice by Nancy Miyasaki

This is the real deal...not the sorry excuse for Mexican rice you often get on a combo plate these days. The fresh tomato flavor comes through wonderfully! We made this with long grain white rice this time, but next time I'm planning to do a 50/50 mix of long grain white and brown rice. That will make it healthier and I believe it…

Found this recipe on 'Cooking Classy' I tweaked it a tiny bit and it is amazingly close to the rice I love at mexican restaurants. I was actually amazed.

Caribbean Peas & Rice by John Spottiswood

This popular dish throughout the Caribbean is similar to red beans and rice, but made with a few more spices and with crowder, pidgeon, or black-eyed peas instead of red beans. If you can't find any of these, though, red beans make a fine substitute. This is great comfort food that is a nice mellow contrast to spicy-sweet Caribbean…

Quinoa Pilaf with Pine Nuts by John Spottiswood

This is an easy and tasty side dish we served with stuffed chicken breast. The original recipe called for bulgur, but we had quinoa on hand and I think it worked wonderfully.

Corn Cilantro Rice by Mary Joseph

This rice dish is a little sweet from the corn and a little tangy from the cilantro. It goes great with your favorite tacos or even something like tuna burgers.

Quinoa and Fresh Corn with Scallions by John Spottiswood

This is a great side dish we served tonight with leftover chicken breast. I've been getting great vegetarian ideas from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. I left the cheese out of this one to up the healthiness, and it tasted great without!

Quinoa with Vegetables and Herbs by Nancy Miyasaki

This was easy and a delicious side for the yogurt chicken I made the other night. My sister raved about this and my husband, who normally prefers bulgur and other grains to quinoa, really enjoyed it. If you haven't had quinoa before, this is an easy and tasty dish to start with! Feel free to substitute other vegetables you have on…
