Confetti Rice

DO NOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE!

There... Our mother (who is the genius that shared this recipe with us) told us not to double it. When mama speaks we don't question... So we don't know why we don't double it... for the same reason we don't know why we rub the cucumber ends after we cut them off... Mama said to. That's why!

This rice is delectable. Try eating it with chicken roll ups. But don't double the recipe... just make two separate dishes of it!

Ingredients and a how to all in one!
