Sweet & Tangy Sauteed ColeslawThis is a refreshing change from the mayonnaise based potato salad and Coleslaw that's devoured throughout the summer.

Annatto RiceAnnatto oil gives this rice dish a nice yellow color. The oil doesn't add much taste but makes for a nice presentation. It can be used instead of butter or oil when cooking long grain rice. I used parboiled. If you use a different type of rice vary the cooking time accordingly. |
