"They serve this in the cafeteria at work and it is the most requested. It is a very hearty and yet low-calorie meal. This recipe makes 8 cups so is great for OAMC, make ahead of time and serve over fresh rice.
1 cup of soup is about 150 calories and 1 cup of rice is approx 200 depending on the type. We usually use a wild rice blend."

"My mom was a Campfire Girl from Bluebirds until adulthood, when she was a summer camp counselor for several years. On some of those Bluebird overnights, they used to make this simple version of "Texas Hash". Transposed to the kitchen, it became a family favorite with her kids, and now I make it for my family. It's easy, cheap, fast, and..."

"Why pay almost $3 or $4 for an overpriced box of trail mix-style bars when you can make your own easily? A 6 ounce bag of puffed brown rice cereal goes for 80 cents at our local supermarket, and 6 ounces is a lot of puffed rice! You can use natural, low-sugar or low-fat peanut butters, use raisins instead of dried cherries or substitute chocolate or..."

"This is a quick and simple rice salad. The creamy feta blends beautifully with the black olives. If you leave out the cucumber, this is also lovely served warm. I like the flavour as it is but if you don't like vinaigrette tart, feel free to reduce the amount of red wine vinegar to 2 tablespoons."

it will require a bit more time as it absorbs water more slowly than regular rice. We often cook this while camping

"This is really quite good. I fooled my entire family. They swore it was meat. I browned them really well. I'm not a vegetarian, but continue to make it. I use walnuts, rice, miso, and soy sauce as the combination among the choices. I have also put in teriyaki and it was great. Sorry about the nutrition information not working with all of the choices!..."

"Chicken A' La Can Can is an easy and quick recipe, perfect for the busy family. I always use 98% fat-free soups. (For some reason, it will only post the 98% fat-free cream of celery soup as simply low fat.) It is from a church cookbook and the notation beside it says that it was used to serve large groups. Our family really has enjoyed it over..."
