Easy Spanish Rice
This easy recipe for Spanish rice was told to me by my girlfriend's mother-in-law from Mexico. I had to measure the ingredients. Never before have they been measured, always a "handful of this and equal parts of that" until it looked right. I hope you enjoy it. It has become a family favorite in our home. I am always asked to make it!
Best Turkey Burgers
This turkey burger recipe is the best. After making them the first time my husband said "no more" to beef burgers. These are full of flavor — any cooking method may be used, and they freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meatloaves.
Mayonnaise Biscuits
These mayonnaise biscuits are simple but tasty. You can't taste the mayonnaise, but it gives the biscuits a light and fluffy texture. For rolled and cut biscuits, use just enough milk to hold the dough together.
