Simple Plan

 Beyond a simple practice of exercise, eating right, and thinking good thoughts the key is to be gentle with yourself.

Rice is kind of my nemesis. I don't own a see through pot so I can never tell when my rice is done. It's never the beautiful single grain standing on it own accord type rice. It's gummy, wet, and chewy. Or on more than one occasion, crunchy.
Whole foods has prepared Basmatic rice to enjoy when ever you want! So until rice and I come to an understanding with the aid of a see through pot I will procure my rice from Whole foods.

Of course I put a spin on it! I always try to put as many vegetable into a dish as possible. Or at least use the ones that are about start hiding in my fridge as I purchase more and more.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

To the basmatic rice I added

2 handfuls of Purple Cabbage chopped tiny
2 small Carrots chopped tiny
and 1/4 cup or so of Pineapple chopped tiny
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Put everything into a round baking dish with a lid. Stir lightly then put in oven for 15-20 minutes.
The butter will melt so when you take it out make sure to stir it up again. The lid will keep the steam in until your ready to serve....and I did with steak!

Mindfullness without meditation is just a word.

Peace be with you.
