Not eating rice for quite sometime, I decided to prepare myself a rice mix. I usually don't make rice mixes and everytime I make them, they're always experimental in nature. Lucky they always end up yummy.:-) This time, the rice mix with Mexican vegetable mix and ground beef end up perfectly. The rice were not sticking and the taste was delicious. Below is how the rice mix came through. I looked online if there's a similar one to what I cooked but I could not find one. I think there's no really strict rules in cooking: as long as edible and yummy, that's it! What do you think?

It was a fulfilling yummy meal with my rice mix. :-)

Pasta meals can be both quick and yummy and can be also healthy as well. Below are some of my pasta mixes that are worth repeating. They're yummy, easy to prepare and only takes longer in boiling. The good thing? As one boils the pasta, that person can o something else at the same time. In the end, only a couple of minutes is wasted.. The 3 dishes listed below were practical mixes as we don't live in Italy, otherwise we would have the original ingredients or created something else that's abundant in the province during a particular season. One example is the broccoli, we used to turnip back in Italy but we do not have any idea where to look nfor turnip near where we live in the Netherlands. The dishes below is more like "be practical and adapt"...
