Red beans and rice by John Spottiswood

I've adapted this recipe from a number that I have used in the past. You can deviate from this and it is still delicious! Normally, I serve this with a jerk marinated chicken or pork, but it also goes well with grilled fish, steak and many other treats.

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…

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…

Wild Rice Pilaf with Fresh Vegetables by Jane Evans Bonacci

Did you know that wild rice is not rice at all but grass? It grows in areas of shallow water, so prevalent in the state of Minnesota that it is the official state grain.
