Swiss Chard, Garlic, Lemon and Brown Rice

I posted one of the new recipes that I tried last night. Instead of plain brown rice I used a Trader Joe's brown rice blend (includes black barley and radish seed with the brown rice) which gave a nice texture variation. I liked the recipe, but...

What I did with leftovers was a real treat. For lunch today I started with a bed of mixed greens (romaine, red and green leaf lettuces and spinach) then I drizzled an orange citrus dressing over that, sectioned a small Cutie orange and topped with the leftovers from last night (cold, although you could reheat) it was really yummy! The citrus would be very refreshing on a hot summer day.

  1. This sounds SO good, Margie! I also want to try your tortilla pie. I may add a bit of Daiya cheddar "cheese" to it; I really like that stuff!

    Keep those recipes coming! We need gluten-free recipes, so I can't make the baked goods, but I'd love any other recipes. :)

  2. Well, if you are gluten free, don't use the Trader Joe's blend, use just brown rice.

    Tell me more about the Daiya cheddar "cheese" I am not familiar with that.
