Arroz Con Gandules
"Authentic Puerto Rican rice - great side dish, or serve with recipe #220415 and have as a main dish. When I serve it this way, I double the beans and top with shredded lettuce, tomato and avocado. You can substitute other meat for the sausage - ham, chicken or pork. Credit for this recipe goes to my good friend Michelle."

DELICIOUS! So easy and lots of flavor-everyone loved this dish! I used diced ham and included recaito. Thank you, JenniferK2, for a great recipe! Made for the Think Pink Tag Game In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2008. -
Wonderful dish!! We loved the flavors and will be making this again soon. It came together easily with ingredients that I usually have on hand (except for the Gandules - it was my first time eating them but will definitely not be the last.) We served it with EdsGirlAngie's Puerto Rican Pork a La Criolla #99717 for a wonderful Puerto Rican meal. Thanks JenniferK2

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple.
I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
