Food & Money

[bertine]

For some reason I thought last Friday was a payday but it wasn't. So, I had moved money around and sent a payment to our CC with that in mind. I went grocery shopping this weekend and basically cleaned out the account which means we are going to be pantry eating for the next week. This shouldn't be so bad since we have a good amount of protein in the freezer.

For some reason* we have a couple pounds of wild rice. So, what is your favorite thing to do with wild rice?


*Byerly's has these sales where you can get a free pound of wild rice with a $10 purchase. Since I get $5 sushi there for lunch most Wednesdays I'll buy some thing to make up the difference (usually cheese) and get free wild rice

Creamy chicken and wild rice soup! It is the best. My mom stole the recipe from Byerly's :)

I used to know how you could use rice to make the crust of a quiche, I don't know if this would work for wild rice, but if so, it would be tasty!

If I remember right, you take the rice, blend it with shredded cheese, press it into a pie plate and bake it, then fill it after.

Derrick makes a yummy wild rice casserole with spicy (hot) sausage, chicken and cream of mushroom/chicken soup (can use just one kind or both kinds--depends on whether the people he makes it for like mushrooms--I always add extra mushrooms in addition to the mushroom soup).

I'll add it to Stove Top stuffing...sooo good.

Wild rice mixed with french beans is divine. The nuttiness of the rice and the sweet greenness of the beans makes a perfect side dish for something dug out of the freezer ;)
