Spanish Rice Pronto -

 

 
 
This was a rice dish my mom would make when we had steak or BBQ chicken. I loved it. As she got more into it, she started experimenting by adding a little chili power and some garlic power to the mix.

I found this in her recipe box typed on index card. (I remember typing all of her favorite recipes when I was in HS) but also it was on the side of the Minute Rice box.
NOTE: you can cook bacon for the drippings and then use the bacon, crumbled in the rice. Add some cheese and it makes a poor-man's casserole. With children, I'd either mince the green pepper and onion so small they can't see it or just use onion power.

Day 7 - Amish Friendship Bread - Do nothing

    Amish friendship bread or cake is your basic sweetened quick-bread. What makes it unique is the cup of starter you add to the batter, which adds leavening and a bit of sourdough tang to the final bread. This starter has (theoretically) been handed down through the generations from the Amish themselves. If followed exactly, each recipe makes enough starter for several loaves. You're then supposed to share this excess starter amongst your friends and thus continue propagating the recipe.
