I love rice and could seriously eat it every single day.  But here’s the problem… I’m the only one in my home that feels that way.  So if I make rice for any meal I will be the only one to eat it even if I make enough for everyone.  Then since I made enough for everyone I will be tempted to eat more of it than I should because it’s in front of my face and tastes so good.  Luckily I have found a solution to this problem – Minute Ready to Serve Rice.

Minute Ready to Serve Rice is an ideal portable solution for lunch or breakfast because you can eat it on the go, straight from the cup.  Simply peel off the cover, microwave for 60 seconds, and ta-da fully cooked rice for any meal or snack which makes this perfect for busy parents.  I particularly love it for a few reasons including the fact it gives me perfect portion control.  As you can see each Minute Ready to Serve Rice package comes with two individual single-serve cups.  This means I can make a portion for myself and not have any go to waste or end up eating too much.  I used to be boring with my rice and stuck to plain white rice, but not anymore because there are 10 flavorful and wholesome varieties to choose from including whole grain options of brown rice, brown & wild rice, and multi-grain rice as well as white rice, Italian rice mix, chicken rice mix, yellow rice mix, Spanish rice mix, pilaf rice mix, and Jasmine rice which is what I decided to try this time.

When I opened the packaging I was pleasantly surprised to find a coupon for a future purchase and Stir It Up recipes to give meal time a little kick.  Plus you can visit the Love Every Minute website for even more Stir It Up recipe ideas and more information about the Minute Rice family of products.

Minute Ready to Serve Rice definitely has gotten me back into the mind set of eating healthy and watching my portion sizes.  If you made a New Year’s resolution and got off track it’s not too late for you either.  Why not start by making a small lifestyle change?  Give Minute Ready to Serve Rice a try for lunch and maintain control of how you fuel your body.  Or you could challenge yourself to try new recipe ideas using the different flavor varieties I mentioned previously.  For lunch yesterday I made the Jasmine Rice which I topped with a butter and garlic tilapia fillet and paired it up with a fresh salad.

Let me tell ya – it was delicious.
