  1. This was a great change from regular rice. I didn't do the step #1 due to time issues. Great flavor!

I am in my late 20s and live in Oklahoma. I am married with no children yet (apart from DH!). I'm fluent in Spanish, and would love to learn more languages. I enjoy cooking, but baking is more my forte.
