  1. I didn't have any saffron, but I did add 2 cups of small cut frozen veggies to make this into a complete meal for my family. Plates all clean, one happy mummy! Made for ZWT8 (The Fearless Red Dragons)
     
  2. This was quite delicious, especially considering how simple it is to prepare. I did use saffron because we really like it. And I used regular white rice (because I don't use instant rice), and it worked out quite nicely. The melding of all the ingredients worked quite well in this dish. We ended up with a nice side dish of Spanish Rice to go along with the chicken. I will remember this recipe in the future for any Spanish-themed dinner because it was wonderful and so easy to make. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Queen Dana. Made for ZWT8 - Spain/Portugal.
     
  3. This was pure comfort food. I loved that it was so simple to prepare and fast, too! The flavors work together very well. I'm putting this into my Best of the Best file, just because it was 10 star comfort food and it was so darn easy. Thank you! Made during the ZWT7 for the Golden Gourmets.
     
  4. Just the thing for something simple tonight, I used regular rice and close to 3/4 can of tomatoes instead of half, I made 2 servings. Delicious flavor that we really enjoyed. Made for ZWT 7
     
  5. I asked my DH what I would like to eat this evening. As he said "something with rice", I filtered (looking under "arroz") the all user ZWT7 recipes for Central/South America.<br/>I saw this recipe and your name. This was a great choice.<br/>I never had instant rice; I prepared this with common rice and some more broth.<br/>Dana, Thanks for your recipe!

I love trying new dishes. For me, food is a way of experiencing the world without leaving my home, and I'm hoping that as my two sons get older that I can convince them to come with me on my culinary adventures.
