Rice is a poular item here, in case you haven’t noticed. It’s affordable and versatile. And in most cases it’s gluten-free, which means it’s something that is safe for my youngest that I can serve to my whole family. While I often make rice as a side, sometimes I prefer to incorporate other things with it that let me turn it into a whole meal.
