Well, spring is in full swing and that means lots more time spent outdoors and busier schedules from school, after school sports, life being lived out and about and so on. So where does that leave you when it comes to making dinner?
I am a huge fan of shopping on Sundays and prepping for the week ahead to always have healthy meals on hand during busy times. And I also love products that help me supplement those quick dinners like Minute® Rice. With a variety of delicious varieties, dinner time isn’t just quick, it’s exciting too! Plus, March is National Nutrition Month and Minute® Rice is non-GMO and gluten-free so it’s the perfect pantry staple!
Minute® Rice comes in Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice or Minute® Multi-Grain Medley, both of which are delicious, easy to prepare and wholesome. If you like the nutty, rich flavor of brown rice, Minute 100% Whole Grain Brown Rice is a delicious, nutritious option, as it has similar nutritional values as regular long cooking brown rice, but is ready in just 10 minutes, – ¼ the time!
Minute® Multi-Grain Medley is the newest product to hit the shelves from Minute® Rice. It’s a blend of four gluten-free, 100% whole grains, all non-GMO including long grain brown rice, Thai red rice, wild rice and quinoa and it conveniently cooks in 10 minutes. Plus, Minute® Multi-Grain Medley comes in pre-portioned bags, making it even easier to prep for your family. Yum!

I love the convenience but most of all I love that I can whip up a healthy meal in minutes that I can spend more time enjoying than making! I can make it in 10 minutes and it can sit and fluff for up to 30 minutes while I work on the veggies and other meal time elements. It’s absolutely foolproof and also keeps clean up time to a minimum. No more scraping burnt rice out of my pots, haha! It’s a versatile must have in my pantry every week!
As a bonus, here’s one of my fave recipes that features Minute® Rice!
Pesto Primavera Brown Rice “Parmesan”
- 2 cups Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice, uncooked
- 4 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons vegan pesto
- ½ cup vegan Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Cook rice according to the instructions on the box. Use vegetable stock in place of water for more flavorful rice.
- Once rice is done cooking, turn heat to medium then add spinach, artichokes, pesto, salt, and vegan Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and heat until spinach has wilted and everything is well incorporated.
- Serve, top with extra Parmesan cheese and enjoy. *Feel free to add in chopped olives, chopped cherry tomatoes or any other yummy mix-in’s you like!
