Momma's Spanish Rice

Growing up this dish was a staple at our house. Moms favorite food I would say. Her version of Spanish rice, a recipe taught to her from her mom & grandma.

Growing up many different people had it & loved it with the exception of a few (the one little girl Sally that dumped it in the floor & hid it with her plate🤣). Man was mom mad. Over all though most everyone that's ever eaten it liked it.

Now the rice above may look like my mom's Spanish rice, only one thing is different...I used the instant pot (not the insta pot, the one we have isn't that name brand) but let me tell you...I LOVE IT! It belongs to mom & dad, they only ever used it a few time because mom doesn't like it. She says it makes the food taste weird. It doesn't that is her just being resistant to change. Since bringing it to my house (because my parents live with me) I have been using it every chance I get.

Today I made her recipe in the instant pot & let me tell you it was fantastic. Mom ate some and even gave it two thumbs up.

She said it tastes just like hers.

I might be winning her over to the instant pot. I just have to figure out more of her recipes to cook in it 😉

Do you have one of these instant pot pressure cookers? What are some of your favorite things to make in it? Please share, I am in search of something yummy to make.

Have a great day

Thanks for reading.

Wonderful waste of time

I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad. I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work). And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom. Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such. She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself. So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along. That girl made her whole hat. She loves it and wears it everywhere already. Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats. They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company. I mentioned to Val that maybe they could make some

My baby girl

found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt. She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now. She is 12. Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck) We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge. Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl. She has the biggest heart. Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday. She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday. As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over. She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now) most likley dreaming of her best friend(the hors

My Vallie...gotta love those cheeks It is hard for me to really pick just one thing to write about my girls, seems they are always up to something. Cant believe today my first born turned 15. I remember the day we brought her home from the hospital. Stephen had seen Joe(he was on the fire dept. with stephen) at the store on the way home and stopped to show off his pretty baby girl. I still didn't know him well, but he and Jackie came to the truck and ooo'd and ahhh'd over my sweet baby. then out of the blue, Jackie pulled her little foot out and said "Well look at that Joe, she has your toes!" (because they were very long little toes) they all laughed, I was slightly embarrassed but that comment has made it all these years as our little joke. Now every time we see either Joe or Jackie, they ask how their girl is doing and if she still has Joes toes. Seems just like yesterday she was that tiny little girl with all that hair. (her hair was the firs
