Rice is Nice!

It's a simple, humble grain, but rice is the the most important staple food for a large part of the world's population.

Rice is Nice!

Rice is versatile. There are many different kinds of rice to choose from. Different colors, textures, sizes, and tastes. A rice for everyone

This week show how Rice is Nice! by picking a Tessa Kiros recipe that features rice.


Make all that Nice Rice a main course, a side dish, or even a dessert. Just make it a Tessa Kiros recipe, and post it by Sunday, January 15th.

Make sure you link up your Rice is Nice! creation using Mr. Linky below. Don't forget to leave a comment after you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss your fabulous rice dish. If you are new to IHCC, just click on our Welcome post to get all of the details.

If you missed spending last week, Under the Tuscan Sun, be sure to head on over and see all of the delectable dishes everyone brought!

Don't forget, we're cooking through the recipes of Tessa Kiros right now...so if you've linked up, be sure that you've used/adapted one of her recipes for your post!

    I know, I know, I disappeared off the face of the earth for a couple of months, but I am back and I am going to go back and post the ones I missed bit by bit, so don't feel you need to check up on me, but I am hoping to be a bit more attentive from now on. In the meantime, here's rice...and a lovely, lovely rice dish it is at that. Definitely a repeat.

    I turned the Tomato Rice side dish from Piri Piri Starfish into a hearty main dish Tomato Rice with Veggies & White Beans. Quite tasty!

    Tomato risotto in the house! I might just have the leftovers for breakfast with an egg on top.

    Kayte - welcome back! ♥

    I did the tomato risotto too! But then turned it into fried risotto balls. Can never go wrong with rice. Off to see what everyone else made!

    After last week, I knew I had to make it, and I did! And it was every bit as good as I hoped it would be - I've shared Artichoke & Italian Sausage Risotto xo

    Your risotto looked amazing Natashya! And I loved the idea of Heather's smoky tomato risotto! I'll have to try it.

    Looks like this was the week of risotto!
    Kim-love the gooey cheesy middle in the risotto balls. A little bonus of fried mozz!
