What’s Good

So that’s what I made for lunch today….it was pretty good actually.

Here’s the recipe if you’d like to make it yourself

1/2 cup uncooked white rice

2 T. frozen peas

1/2 cup shaved deli ham, diced

1-2 T. Cheez-Whiz (I know, the stuff’s spooky, but it’s good!)

1/2 t. dried parsley OR 1 T. fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. fresh ground black pepper

Cook rice according to package directions. I used these new-fangled instant-rice-in-a-cup things- they microwave in just 1 minute! While rice is cooking put peas in small bowl with about 2 t. water and microwave, covered for about 1 min 30 sec- 2 minutes. Peas are done. When rice is done, mix it together with peas in a larger bowl (or cook peas in the same bowl….whatever) and add the rest of the ingredients. Cover that and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir everything together and serve. Makes 1 serving.

Tips: You may need to thin it out a little bit with milk or water or something if the cheez-whiz is too gloppy. Also, try to use fresh if you have it…it’s just that much better. Same with the pepper. Using bulk white rice in a bag is probably a more economical solution than buying a 2 pack of those microwavable instant rice bowls, but seeing as how I care more about convenience than cost, I went with the cups. Let me know if you try out the recipe, and how it came out!
