Hey Barb! yup raw carrots will do. I use the baby cut ones all the time.
Hope that helps!

Another great dish! Very satisfying and filling. My husband loved it too. I actually appreciate that you give instructions on how to easily remove the casings on the sausage. Sounds silly, but I don’t cook sausage that often and I didn’t realize it was that simple.

Your recipes are so helpful. I actually enjoy cooking these days. Thank you very much.

I gave your webiste info to a couple of women at ww meeting. I would like to share this website with my leader. I would like to make sure that would be ok.

ps: I have learned so many new recipes and “tricks” that you have incorporated in your recipes. I joined ww late October and have lost 25 lbs. Thanks so much for putting yourself and toddler (what a sweety) out here for us. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you.

Hey Roni,
The other night I made your Spicy Black beans, but I wanted a hotdish type thing, so I added 2 C cooked rice, a can of green chilis, and browned some ground turkey (with more cumin, curry and chili powder). Stirred it all together – awesome & VERY filling!! Never figured out the points for it, though. This dish seems very similar and made me think of it.
Congratulations on one year of GLB!!!

bigtickles – I think it would be fine! Most rice dishes are fine frozen. Try it!

Do you think this will freeze well? I am stocking up on prepared meals before I go to the hospital. This sounds like something I could do to keep the kiddos happy until I am back on my feet.

I made something similar last night and it was so good!

I think Quinoa would be AWESOME! I was thinking bulger too!

As for the sauce, you want like a tomato puree, stewed tomatoes would work too. Whatever you decide just stay tru to the 1-2 quinoa to liquid ratio.

I know you don’t want to hear this but… Experiment! I think you’ll surprise yourself! :~)

Yummy Roni!
Want to make this today to have next week for lunches. I am doing CORE. Do you think this would work with Quinoa instead of the rice? I was thinking that way I can save my brown rice/pasta for dinner. I was also wondering…the tomato sauce…I guess as long as there is just tomatoes and water I am okay? Any thoughts on how to adjust this? As well, I would use chicken instead of the sausage…I am not a cook at all so need your help!

I was just talking to my friend today about how I love Thanksgiving because I can cook for other people besides my husband. Cooking for my husband is boring sometimes because I already know he won’t like this or that.

Never had red rice either but how can you go wrong w/ rice and sausage?

This looks delicious, I sent it to all our cousins on LI and a friend who I introduced to your site. I think they’d like it too.

this sounds yummy. sounds like chili dish to me. mmmmm, i prepped chili ingredients last night for “the boyfriend” to pull together today :)

I may have to try this recipe with some leftover frozen chicken. thanks for sharing. this is one i could definitely pull together. my favorites are the ones that you just throw everything in and they cook themselves.
