  1. This was very good with some adjustments. I used 2 cups of chicken broth instead of 3 of veggie broth. I used green onions, carrots and celery with toasted pine nuts. Will make again.
     
  2. This was good. Fairly quick & easy as the wild rice is done ahead. I found it to have too much liquid & therefore not very fluffy & pilaf-fy. But it was very tasty. I like the added bonus of high fiber & protein for my carbaholic dd. ;) I left out the celery for dd & added a red bell pepper which added nice color. I also subbed pignoli for the pistachios. YUM! Made for PAC Fall '08.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I work at home as an administrative assistant. Our family is very active and very involved in the sport of Triathlon. I absolutely love collecting recipes and trying them out. My husband sometimes complains that he never gets the same meal twice -- there's always something new to try. Low calorie, nutritious, and meatless are dishes I look for. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
