I hope you’ve been enjoying my mini-series on Lunch Bowls. I’m a bit obsessed with portion controlled meals. Mostly though, I’m quite fond of a theme.
It helps my brain get organized.

I must admit I’m quite proud of my Sushi Stack. Not only was it delicious, but it looks so pretty in a picture.

I have read at least a dozen recipes for both Spanish and Mexican Rice in an attempt to find one as close to what we get from our favorite Cantina. Continue reading »
