This makes a yummy side dish for taco night or any other type of Spanish themed meal. It's pictured without the bell pepper in, as i sometimes dont have peppers in hand, but it's still just as good without.

    In a large pot or a deep skillet with a tight fitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and peppers and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so, stirring often, until fragrant.

    Add the rice and the seasonings EXCEPT for the salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until the rice starts to brown a bit. Then stir in the tomato sauce and increase the heat to med-high. Cook 1 minutes more, then stir in the broth.

  3. 3

    Once it reaches a boil, place the lid on and reduce the heat to low. Allow to simmer until the liquid has absorbed and the rice is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 or so minutes, then remove the lid, add the salt and pepper and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
