I bet you didn't believe me that you could turn rice into literally any dish. Often I will have everything prepped before hand and placed in baggies. This is perfect for those evenings when I know my Husband is going to beat me home. He just tosses all of the pre-packaged ingredients together in the skillet and he has a delicious home cooked meal in no time at all. Plus there is dinner on the table when I get home, if they didn't eat it all!
