Vegetarian Rice Toppings with Squash, Beans, Tomato, Cabbage, and Potato have become a beloved option for individuals seeking a healthy and fulfilling lunch or dinner, even during busy days. This dish has gained popularity due to its delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The tender squash, protein-rich beans, juicy tomatoes, crisp cabbage, and hearty potatoes blend harmoniously to please the taste buds. With its straightforward preparation and abundance of nutritious ingredients, this dish offers a convenient solution for a quick and nourishing meal. Whether enjoyed as a standalone dish or accompanied by rice, it ensures a satisfying and wholesome dining experience.(This is also considered a shrimp-paste-free and meatless dish. Perfect remedy for those who have meat or seafood dishes.)

Note: this is what happens when there’s not many “rice” eaters in the fam. Most of the beans and sausage is eaten and mostly bean juice and rice is left over. That’s when the juice and rice is mixed together for another dish. #GlobalApron 2024

I love Cajun food and this is using what I have in house and the garden. It’s a cross between red beans and rice and jambalaya. This is in no way your normal technique but it is absolutely delicious and easy.

This is sort of a mish mash of red beans and rice and dirty rice. Or like a cheap and quick jambalaya for weeknights.

In the New Orleans area, Red Beans and Rice is a tradition on Mondays. In times past, leftover meats from Sunday became part of the recipe for Red Beans and Rice. Since there are no leftovers in my house, I have come to rely on Andouille sausage and ham chunks for the meat ingredients. I take short cuts because traditional southern recipes can be an all day long affair for which I do not have time.

This is a family recipe that’s been around for a while. I think it originated with my great uncle in Louisiana sometime around the 1950s.

I tried to recreate a Greek restaurant lemon, chicken rice dish I've been craving since pregnant. I actually did not have any Greek seasoning, so I tried garlic salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, black pepper & parsley. It was close enough and tasted great overall!

A certain amount of fat has to be in our diets daily. Transfat is not good but it's only produced when vegetable oils hardens it's called hydrogenation. Hydrogenated fats, or "trans fats," are often used to keep some foods fresh for a long time.Trans fats are also used for cooking in some restaurants. They can raise LDL cholesterol levels in your blood. They can also lower your HDL (good) cholesterol levels.Animal fats like drippings and lard doesn't this. They help absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K. The fats your body gets from your food give your body essential fatty acids called linoleic and linolenic acid. They are called "essential" because your body cannot make them itself, or work without them. Your body needs them for brain development, controlling inflammation, and blood clotting. This information came from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.This is why I try and use vegetable oil as little as possible. The only oils I like to really use is olive, coconut, peanut and lard. The price and affordability is the only reason I use vegetable oil. I absolutely will not use canola oil as it does indeed cause heart lesions over a period of years of use.

Been experimenting around trying to reduce the slimy part of okra. So I add no liquids to this and let the instant rice absorb the wetness of the dish. It works.

A dear friend of mine shared her grandma's recipe, Tatianas grandma's pink beans long ago and I posted it here. Well I fell in love with pink beans so this is for Tatiana and her grandma. Thank you for sharing so much in my life!!!
