"I received an email this morning from my Pampered Chef Consultant and this is one of the recipes that was featured. Here is what the email said: September is National Rice Month - "Rice is a good choice for a healthy diet. It is a good source of complex carbohydrates and can help you achieve a reduced fat diet." --American Dietetic Association Rice protein, when compared to that of other grains, is considered one of the highest quality proteins. It has all eight of the essential amino acids, necessary building blocks for strong muscles. Rice is also a good source of other essential nutrients - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, phosphorus, iron, and potassium.

So yummy! My boyfriend and I looooved this. Next time, we're going to add some garlic, but this recipe is just the right amount of cheesy for us. We both thought it was absolutely delicious.
