Back-to-School lunch ideas & Giveaway

There is nothing easier than cooking rice in a pan. Oh wait. Yes there is! You can prepare a Minute Rice® Ready to Serve Cup in just 1 minute! Available in six varieties, Minute Rice® Ready to Serve Cups have been our go-to product to help make our lives easier. As summer is almost over (did I say that out loud?), there is no greater need to save time and energy as when in a full back-to-school mode. Minute Rice® Ready to Serve Cups are pre-portioned single serving mini-bowls of rice that takes only one minute in the microwave to cook. They are available in Whole Grain, Basmati, Oriental-Style, Mexican, Vegetable Medley, and in Long Grain & Wild Rice (Fine Herbs, and Chicken Flavour).

I love the fact that the rice can be eaten straight out of the cup. You could also add a protein like chicken or beans to create a fun and quick meal. Minute Rice® Ready to Serve Cups are also a super economical choice – they are about $2.75 for two 125 gram cups. More information and time-saving recipes can be found at www.minuterice.ca. Have a look at how fast you can make this Minute Rice® Chicken and Wild Rice Salad recipe! You will love it!
