"This is my favourite side dish to pair with my Chili Pork Steak (recipe #175837). The sauce from the meat just goes perfectly with this."

Very good. My husband and extended family loved it. It's a keeper! -
This made for very nice side dish. The chopped green onions and the parsley flakes made for appeal, the almonds added crunch. Next time I will try it with the Chili Pork Steak. I'm sure Theresa P's addition of the green chilies would be good too. Thank you for sharing. -
I really liked this smooth , creamy , rice dish !! I added a can of chopped green chilies to the mix and I think it really kicked up the flavor a lot !! I will be making this recipe often !! -
this new star rating system is throwing me off. My husband liked it a lot said he wouldn't change a thing. I liked it but would change some things. My personal taste I thought it needed more seasoning and think would be really good to me with some spice tweeking. But good all around side dish, just needs a little more flavor for me :o) Thank You Swan Valley

<p>I live in beautiful western Manitoba, Canada. I'm a wife and stay-at-home mom with 2 daughters, Peanut (who turned 7 at the end of January) and Fidget (who will turn 5 in the middle of June) and a husband whom I call The Bushman, who's motto, lucky for me, is I'll try anything once! I'm a Mennonite by heritage as well as faith. I'm a born again Christian and we belong to a small Evangelical Mennonite country church where The Bushman and I are fairly involved. The church is made up largely of family groups -- most are related somehow. That's actually a Mennonite pastime, finding out how everyone's related to each other. If we're not directly related, we'll find a connection somehow -- your third cousin's wife's brother is for SURE my mother's father's sister-in-law's nephew!! See, isn't it amazing how small this world really is?! For fun, I enjoy photography -- my favourite subjects are sunsets, cloud formations, my girls, and nature close-ups -- reading, (John Grisham, Frederick Forsythe, Robert Ludlum, and Clive Cussler are my favourite authors), playing piano, and going for nice long walks, either first thing in the morning or towards sunset. I've even learned to enjoy it in the dead of winter, when I have no choice but to walk in semi-darkness. For those of you who've never experienced a Manitoba winter (lucky you!), 'the dead of winter' includes pretty much all of December, January, and February!! And up here, our shortest days of the year have only 7 hours of daylight, so if it's cloudy, well, it feels like no daylight at all! It's my favourite time to plan my day, pray, and daydream about what might happen if I'd ever actually buy a lottery ticket and win!! I love cooking -- baking not so much (mostly because it's not essential to survival and if there's baking in the house, that's all we eat!!) -- and reading recipe books is a favourite pastime of mine. I love the Company's Coming series of cookbooks, but my favourite is Taste of Home magazine. Since buying a premium membership here though, I've decided to let my subscription run out. I'll miss it, but I've decided there's really no need for it, since all the best recipes in the world eventually end up here!!</p>
