Being a mom of three boys, it seems all they do is eat, and eat…and eat. And usually, they will head straight for the easiest and fastest foods they can find, which isn’t always the healthiest. With Minute® Ready to Serve Rice, I can come up with quick ideas for after school snacks to keep them going until dinner. I like having the single-serve bowls on hand, they make for a quick side item for lunch or dinner.

I wanted to come up with easy and quick recipes using products that are usually a staple in our house, and using the foods that I know the kiddos would eat. Both quick meals have only three items.

Cheesy Rice & Chicken

Ingredients:

• Minute® Ready to Serve Rice
• Chicken Nuggets
• Cheese (you will want to use a kind that will melt) I cut into cubes to evenly distribute around the bowl.

Directions:

• Pour rice cup into a bowl, mix in chicken nuggets and cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir and enjoy!

Hot Diggity Dogs With Rice & Cheese

Ingredients:

• Minute® Ready to Serve Rice
• Hot Dogs
• Cheese

Directions:

• Pour rice cup into a bowl, mix in hot dogs and cheese. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir and enjoy!

Kid-Approved! As you can see, both meals were given two thumbs up…
