Minute Ready to Serve Rice #LoveEveryMinute

When I was approached to do this review I was super excited because I eat tons of rice and I am always on the look out for quick and easy things I can throw in my purse to eat for lunch while I am at work during the week.  They have tons a great “recipes” of things that you can mix in with all the different kinds of Minute Ready to Serve Rice.  They have 10 different kinds and flavors.  I chose just to get the white rice kind because it was the one that I felt I could mix with the most things and everyone knows I am all about options.  Here is what I chose to do with the first one.

I made pizza rice because I just happened to have pizza sauce because I recently bought some gluten-free pizza crusts and I still had left over sauce and pepperoni that I could use.  I used another bowl to mix it all up in because I didn’t want make a mess and I wasn’t sure if the little container that the rice came in was going to be big enough.  I didn’t measure anything I just put enough sauce in until it look good enough and then I add the cheese and pepperoni.  I did cut up the pepperoni into little pieces because I figured that if I left them like they came they would be too big and I was glad that I did cut them up.  Here is a picture of the cheese and pepperoni before I mixed them in.

I mixed them in and then I warmed it up for a few more seconds because I wanted the cheese to melt and what not.  I really did enjoy this one and I know that I will make it again that is for sure.  This literally only took minutes to make and it was great tasting.  I am going to make rice pudding tonight.  All you have to do is warm up the rice and then add one vanilla pudding cup to it with raisins and you have a great desert.

These also are great for lunches because they are affordable.  They are by far cheaper than fast food and they are better for you as well.  These have become my new go to lunch items because of the price and they are better for me than other things that I eat for lunch.  They also make great deserts as well.  If you are looking for quick and easy lunch items check this out and I know you won’t be disappointed.

What would it take for the United States to fall from within? In a not too
distant future, America is put to the test. With the American people deep
in The Second Great Depression and two of the most powerful hurricanes on
record to contend with, the United States is in no condition to deal with
hidden terrorists on its soil, maniacal politicians, and the most
formidable military threat the world has seen since the Third Reich.

This is the story of three men from three very different walks of life:
Howard Beck, the world’s richest man, also diagnosed with Asperger’s
Syndrome; Richard Dupree, ex-Navy SEAL turned escaped convict; and Maxwell
Harris, a crippled, burned-out chief of police of a small Texas town. At
first, they must overcome their own struggles and fight for their survival
against impossible odds. In the end, the unlikely trio must band together
to save their beloved country from COLLAPSE.

Empires topple. Nations crumble. Civilization is fragile. In 2027, America
will fall.

About Author Richard Stephenson

Richard Stephenson was born in 1975 in Denison, TX and spent his childhood
in North Texas. In 1992, he graduated high school after only three years.
He then pursued his degree at Oklahoma Christian University, once again
accomplishing the task in three years. Richard then married his best
friend before going off to basic training to be a military policeman with
the US Army. With his new wife joining the adventure, they spent the next
four years at Fort Polk, LA and had two children.

Just before his son turned five, Richard and his wife were told that their
oldest child had Asperger’s Syndrome. Nine years later, Richard’s son
would become the inspiration for the character of Howard Beck.

After leaving the armed forces, Richard continued his law enforcement
career in the federal sector and has been with the Department of Justice
for twelve years.
