Simple Rice Pilaf

April 23, 2012

Truth be told, I wish every recipe I post could be as awe-inspiring as this or this or this.

The other day I dropped by my neighbor’s house to deliver a little cake I had made for their one-year old’s birthday and while I was there I observed Mike making a delectable concoction for their family party.
