Anyone Can Cook

My very favorite meal of all time (the one I request on each and every birthday) is Finger Lickin’ Chicken, Rice Pilaf, Caesar salad and Fruit salad. It’s nothing special, but my very favorite part of the meal is the rice. It mystifies my husband that I love this rice so much because it’s really nothing special, but it tastes great, it’s easy to make and you often find the ingredients already sitting in your fridge.
