Seasoned Rice Mix

Mix up a batch of this seasoned rice mix
for your pantry or as small gifts.
 Uncle Ben's and a few seasonings.
 Combine all ingredients in a large bowl
and whisk to combine well.
Divide mixture into 3 containers.
Snack size Ziploc bags are a perfect fit.
 I formed plastic wrap on the bottom of
a glass before inserting into a mug.
I have lots of Christmas mugs that I pick up
when thrifting. See my collection HERE.
Add  directions, and ribbon and it
make a nice little food gift in a Christmas mug. 
It can be part of a gift basket, 
or just tuck in a check for your Christmas tips 
to all the people whose services you have used
 throughout the past year; mailman, yardman, salon, 
dog groomer etc.  


Seasoned Rice Mix
3 C uncooked long-grain rice
Uncle Ben's

 Place 1 C mixture into 3 airtight containers.
Or store in one large container and scoop out
the amount you need to prepare;
 measuring 1 part rice to
2 parts water.

  3. I like this recipe and the whole idea. Won't people be surprised to find rice rather than a hot chocolate mix or Russian tea?
