An UGLY Sweater Party!
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a Minute® Rice ugly sweater party along with some amazing fellow bloggers. It is always a pleasure to see some of my favorite bloggers in person and having the opportunity to show my dorky flare for Christmas made the event even more fun.
During the ugly sweater party we had the opportunity to taste several dishes with a variety of Minute® rice ingredients and it was a blast. My favorite dish of the party was the delicious banana bread made with Minute® Multi-Grain Medley – who knew rice was so tasty in homemade bread? The Minute® Rice spread was gorgeous and totally delicious.
It’s My Turn!
After such a wonderful morning with blogging friends I was totally excited to come home and create my favorite fried rice dish with the newest product from Minute® Rice, the Minute® Multi-Grain Medley. It’s a gorgeous blend of four gluten-free, 100% whole grains, including long grain brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa and it conveniently cooks in 10 minutes. Plus, Minute® Multi-Grain Medley comes in pre-portioned bags, making it even easier to prep for your family. The convenience of the Minute® Multi-Grain Medley makes this shrimp fried rice dish a super fast and healthful meal in less than 15 minutes.

Picky Eater Buster!
My children are somewhat picky eaters and my attempt at expanding their pallets is sometimes an uphill battle. I have learned that creating dishes around their favorite ingredients makes them more apt to trying new flavors and textures. My oldest son loves, loves, loves shrimp and he at this dish up with absolutely no fuss!
