When you say minced onion in the recipe…are you talking about a fresh onion or like the McCormick spice?
Thanks!

This would be great on Thanksgiving as a lighter alternative to mashed potatoes. Or a fantastic base for a leftover mash-up! Substitute turkey broth for chicken, add some leftover meat, throw in some dried cranberries and pine nuts, and round two starts to sound pretty darn good.

Cat, I totally agree about the “paleness” of the dish. It is not the prettiest so you just need to make sure there is some othe color on the plate but it is yummy! I think some slivered almonds might be yummy in the rice and craisinets or dried cherries would be lovely too!

Thought I should mention that the rice pilaf is definitely a dish to “take to someone”. I have a Christmas Potluck for the Ladies in the area this week and so I have to make something ahead of time (since I’m going right after work). Very good and definitely a nice change from just the plain old rice.

Tried the Cheesy Chicken and thought maybe that I’d try a mixture of Monterey Jack and Cheddar next time as it was somewhat pale looking. My family loved it though (pale or not!) Also, tried the Rice Pilaf and it was quite good. I ended up using brown rice and so the contrast between the noodles and the rice wasn’t all that apparent. Perhaps with some craisins (cranberries) that would colour it up (and perhaps nuts). What sort of nuts would you suggest and when would I add those and the craisins do you think – right at the end or just before serving? I wonder if I want them to be soft or chewy? Thoughts?

Hi Leann, do you have a recipe for Christmas Bark? I have been asked to make some for my BFF’s Christmas party. Every year I make all the treats that they filled in baskets for their employees and they LOVED your candy corn bark.

Had the rice pilaf with honey ham tonight. YUMMY! (I used some beef broth I had open instead of chicken broth, and it was great. Can’t wait to try the chicken broth next time.) thank for sharing!!

really only 1 tsp minced onion? Do you dice a little slice?

Did you just say you are NOT a potato eater? :O OMG! I’ll have your potatoes.

PS. This rice looks delish. *adds to recipe folder*
