What’s up, you guys?! Mandy from Mandy’s Recipe Box here. Who is ready for Christmas time? Who is ready for the chaotic times ahead? Who is ready for the non-stop hustle and bustle? Not me. I am all about Christmas. It’s my favorite time of the year. BUT. I hate the crazy busy time it brings. I just want to sit on my comfy couch with my heated blanket, a book, and Diet Coke. All month long. Is that too much to ask? In between the running around from one school Christmas program to another and parties and shopping, I need easy meals and side dishes. This Yellow Rice is made from scratch and can be used in my Cheesy Rice and Chicken Casserole if you don’t want to use or can’t find the packaged kind. Give it a try! It’s a great recipe to have on hand for an easy side dish.
