Definitely one I am going to add to our menu!! Both of my toddlers and my husband cleared their plates! The only thing I wish I had done differently was use pre-cooked brown rice. I made mine right from the raw brown rice grain and it took forever and was still sort of crunchy. After leaving it in the pan for 45 minutes to cook, I put it in the pan with the creamy sauce with a little more water. After about 15 minutes it was edible. We were starving at that point, so we made the decision to just eat it with a little crunch ;-)

PS: I used to follow your blog religiously when I was on WW about 5 years ago. I fell off the wagon after having my kids, but I just completed my 1st week of getting back on track. I have a few of your menu items on our list for the week! Your salisbury steak recipe is a staple in our house and has been for a few years :-) I hope you can give me permission to post links on my blog to yours while I look for delicious and healthy meals!

Can I just say that I love, love, love your blogs! Tried this recipe last night but did not have all the ingredients. I substituted the can of tomatoes with a can of rotel and my husband loved the extra spice. I also didnt have a onion so that was left out, although I am sure that it would have added extra flavor. It turned out great and we will definitely be having it agai:)

I added more thyme and pepper to the rice mixture to spice it up because I thought the rice was a little bland. My pork chops always seem to come out a little dry, but these were good and really did not take much time.

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 17:55:20 +0000 http://greenlitebites.com/?p=6072#comment-88180 I made this Friday night for dinner and it was great! One of the best things was that besides the knife and cutting board for the onion, there was only 1 dirty pan! Lol! Awesome. I did change some of the spices a bit to suit my own tastes (love Old Bay!), but it was a delicious and filling meal. Even my sorta-picky husband deemed it edible and tasty and even said I could make it again. Lol. Then my BFF wanted the recipe so she could make it for her family. Thanks, Roni! :)

You could use any can of cream soup… chicken, celery, whatever. I use them when I need to make a meal in a pinch. They are great gravy starters.

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:00:47 +0000 http://greenlitebites.com/?p=6072#comment-86849 Just made this tonight – the husband wasn’t interested due to heavy snacking, but that just means left over lunches for me!

Its a great, fast recipe and easy! So delicious! I accidentally upped the peas, but hey, nothing wrong with exrat veggies. This is in my rotation now!

Thanks for the picture of your “share” – that’s quite a bit of veggies and greens!

I think I will go for a half share this first time out… if it’s as plentiful as I think it will, then next year I can go for a full.

Thanks A LOT! :O)

For example the minute rice says it’s “about 2 cups” but they also give the grams of a cup. So I go by that.

Hey, I was wondering, how do you usually portion out your serving of rice? Do you do it by weight, by volume, or do you just eyeball a cup? I feel like I can estimate “about a cup,” of something, but I usually don’t measure it out to make sure.

That adoring look Ryan is giving his little brother is priceless.

The minute is about 1 and 3/4 cups and I have 3/4 cup leftover for another meal. That’s how I got to the 2 and 1/2 cups. As long as you have about that much, it will work. You need at least 2 cups to soak up the yummy sauce. Less then that it would be runny. Although you could up the peas too! :)

Did you use the minute brown rice or the real deal? I have both and am just curious!

Thanks!
Danielle

You can see a picture here of one of our weeks…

The only thing we had a hard time with was the greens. We got SO many greens!

I love your “stern look” comment! I had a quick mental image of the looks between you and Ryan!

Hey – I am curious about the CSA you joined – how much did you get each week? We have one starting and they offer 1/2 share that will net 2.5-12.5 lbs of veggies a week or the full share of 5-25 lbs per week…

How much did you get?
