Reviews
As far as cooking goes, I’m definately a beginner, so I look for recipies that seem easy and do-able. This was a great recipe for me! It was semi easy to gather all the ingrediants (couldnt find the season blend so I used fresh veggies instead The final product came out yummy and had a unique taste. I made this for our annual friends thanksgiving dinner and it was a nice change from the traditional stuffing I knew I would be having the next day for Thanksgiving. Tasted great with the turkey. Had alot of flavor and overall a great dish.
I saw this show shortly before Thanksgiving so decided to switch our traditional dressing for this one. It was a great hit! I used the turkey broth instead of chicken. And, we loved the crunch of the celery and pecans and got our cranberries in too (without the ugly canned ones on the table.) I can’t wait to try it with pork chops or chicken.
this recipe is absolutely delicious and turns bland tasting rice into a beautiful and tasty dish fit for the fanciest of dinners. i usually serve it with grilled pork chops and it is a welcome change of pace from baked potatoes.
We have had this a couple of times and the whole family loves it. I never seem to have the oranges so we just leave thoseout.
Awesome with broiled chicken. And so easy. Thanks, Sandra!
