About


My girlfriend and I have been counting calories for a week or so now. I have tried to make up recipes that use lots of vegetables and little carbs. I initially bought the eggplant to make my mini eggplant "pizzas" which I have a recipe listed on foodista.com for, but decided to make this rice instead. It turned out perfectly, even my girlfriend, who let's be honest, is kind of finicky, LOVED it! I would def. make this rice again and it went great with baked chicken tenders and the organic pinto beans I served alongside.
