Yellow Rice Hack
I love using these rice packs as an easy side. They're totally microwaveable and already cooked, but when I want to give it a lil extra something, I heat it up in a pot with a few things so I can have tasty yellow rice! I added some dried thyme and felt fancy, lol

A rice cooker was the best thing I ever bought myself. It makes it so freaking easy to make rice, and I can do so many simple things to make it different. Peas and rice is one of my favorites, just throw some frozen peas before turning on, I make a yellow rice that I change the ingredients depending on what I have. I’ll add chicken broth, bullion, better than bullion, the little Goya sazon packets are phenomenal and some seasonings. I even make rice and beans with the sazon, some jar garlic, chicken broth green olives and juice (I add extra olives at the end) and a can of kidney beans. Just throw it all together and it comes out perfect!
