Now if I was cool, I would have beautiful pictures showcasing these recipes. That way you just couldn't resist making them for dinner tonight, right? But, I have nothing to show for myself, so just read the ingredient list and start to salivate...and think how quickly you will be able to rotate your rice!!
P.S. How easy would it be to make some of these dishes if you planted yourself a small little herb garden this spring/summer! Dill? Mint? Parsley? So tasty and so economical!
Lemon Rice with Pinenuts

1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
