I usually do not enjoy rice pilaf because it strikes me as boring in a way that ordinary white or brown rice does not. Perhaps because I expect more out of it for all the spices added. But today I had some fancy rice pilaf and I was amazed at the difference a few added vegetables could make!

To your basic pilaf, add....

small flowerets of broccoli
strips of red and green bell pepper
mushrooms
snow pea pods
carrot shavings
alsmond slivers
oriental friend noodles, the kind sold in a can as a topping or for snacking

It is YUMMY! and you won't regret it!!!

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.
