aroma rice cooker giveaway

Rice Cooker Recipes - Sweetened Orange Rice

I honestly don’t know what I would do without mine. I’m telling you, rice cookers are where it’s at! I use it ALL. THE. TIME. If it broke, I’d probably panic because it would make dinner time so much more difficult. This baby makes it a snap. I’ll throw in some rice or some veggies while I’m prepping something else, or even while I’m writing up a quick post. Before I know it, side dishes are ready to eat. My favorite recipes using my Aroma are my Chicken and Thyme Rice w/ Carrots and my Sweetened Orange Rice. YUMMY!

Those recipes wouldn’t be nearly as easy without my handy dandy rice cooker. It’s seriously the coolest contraption to have. And now you have a chance to win one of your own!

  1. Keith Elliott says

    We love doing quinoa as well as wild rice and brown rice for sides. There is always a veggie side to go with everything too.

  5. Kristine Drumm says

    My favorite side dish is salad. We eat a lot of Asian for so rice is always being cooked

  9. Nancy R. says

    My favorite side dish is probably grilled our sauteed veggies, but I love them steamed as well!

  13. Nancy R. says

    I commented on the FB post about grocery shopping this week that I love Chocolove chocolates!

  14. Jessica says

    My favorite side dish is french fries! …though lately I’ve really been addicted to the normandy vegetables from Costco- covered in garlic butter. Now I’m hungry.

  16. natalie says

    My favorite side dish varies throughout the season. If it’s summer, I love tomato & avocado salad with corn, lime, and cilantro. yum!!

  17. Kathy says

    So totally love rice, in any way, shape or form. Would love to have a rice cooker to make it easier.

  21. Teresa Smith says

    Our favorite side dish is rice. It is so versatile and can be adapted to go with most any meal you want to prepare.

    I like and follow you on Facebook and subscribed to your newsletter. I am sharing on my facebook page and I commented on your “now that spring is finally here post”.

    As a side note and totally unrelated, are you doing the St. Jude trip again this year?

  22. Ann says

    I love rice, especially brown, but it doesn’t always get as fluffy as I would like. Maybe a rice cooker would help.

  25. mari says

    I like variety, but my current favorite is “Chipotle” brown rice, in my 17 year old rice cooker…do these things ever wear out?

  27. Kristine Drumm says

    My favorite side dish is salad. We eat a lot of Asian so rice is always being cooked. Shared on my Pinterest under giveaways.
    krisdrumm

  28. carrie says

    We have rice at least once a week. I have a copycat rice-a-roni recipe we use almost all the time.

  37. Dana says

    Was already following on Facebook so headed on over to Pinterest and started following you there! Hooray for yummy recipes!

  38. Tina says

    Love a good crunchy salad! Looking forward to some fresh garden veggies this summer (I hope!)

  43. Leanna says

    Love a combination of side dishes – basmati rice cooked in coconut milk and chicken broth mixed with black beans, oven-roasted vegetables, an awesome tossed salad topped with craisins and nuts. These are a few of my favorite things!

  45. Jessica Guerrero says

    We love mashed potatoes, salads and any veggie as sides. But we do love rice mixed with a main dish. The whole family loves poppyseed chicken over rice!

  53. Pam says

    I’m a big fan of rice and veggies, quinoa and veggies, couscous and veggies………is there a pattern here? 🙂
    I’ve always followed you on Pinterest but added you on Twitter and Google + I’m completely and totally ANTI-Facebook so – much as I’d LOVE to get the extra entry – I can’t bring myself to venture onto Facebook to get it. Love your blog!

  54. Sarah says

    Anything potato. I should be embarassed to admit it, but I do love potatoes in any variation. Fried, steamed, mashed…you name it,I love it.

  57. Maranda says

    I shared your giveaway via Twitter. Okay, I am sure you are tired of seeing my name. Happy Monday!

  60. Sena C. says

    I like crap for sides….like french fries or onion rings. Obviously I need this rice cooker and steamer so I can make appropriate choices.

  61. Julia says

    My rice cooker burned out several months ago…
    but we enjoy rice with milk and cinnamon and sugar.
    Favorite side dish, salad with all the trimmings.

  64. Alison Northrop says

    I actually don’t like rice at all. I’m a pasta or potato person when it comes to starches. But my husband loves rice and I ruined his rice cooker. Oops!

  66. robin says

    Never used a rice cooker – (but would like to 🙂

    — daughter really loves rice w/butter & salt only

  76. Cindy says

    My favorite side dish is veggies–especially carrots and green beans. I want to love rice but I can never get it right when I make it on the stove. Thanks for the contest!!!!!!!

  80. Marie says

    Quinoa and brown rice are two of our favorites! Great separately or a little of each mixed with steamed veggies. Our just kicked the bucket, so this would be a wonderful gift! Thanks

  88. Katrina . says

    Depends on what’s for dinner! Some days it’s salad or veggies others its rice, potatoes, quinoa and then there’s days where it’s just a mixture of everything!

  90. U.G. says

    My favorite rice dish is Vegetable Fried Rice with cucumber yogurt mixed with indian spices.

  94. Randi says

    Already follow you in all ways possible (non-stalker like however).
    My OLD rice cooker that we received as a wedding gift died about 6 years ago. Miss it every week.
    This one looks snappy!

  100. Buh.ran.done says

    My favorite side dish is more of the entree. My wife and I have recently begun migrating towards a meatless, dairyless, lifestyle and II’m finding that I can increase my portions quite a bit since the caloric load isn’t nearly as high when you cut out meat and dairy.
    ps. I ‘liked’ you on Facebook.

  101. Tera says

    My favorite is mashed potatoes & gravy, but hardly ever have them. Two veggies is our most common side dish.

  110. Susan says

    We eat a green salad most nights, be we do love our carbs. I’ve made brown rice for years, but recently realized I really just like the taste of white jasmine rice. We eat lots of fiber elsewhere, so I’ve started cooking more white rice. The kids are thrilled.

  111. lynne says

    Fun giveaway!! Thank You!! My favorite rice dishes are fried rice, and just plain white rice with butter and soy sauce. Yumm-mee! 🙂

  113. lynne says

    I commented on your Facebook page under the “English Muffin Bread” posted yesterday. I AM going to make this! 🙂

  114. SusieQ says

    My favorite dish is chicken and rice with cheese sauce. My mom used to make this so it brings back really good memories.

  120. Cheryl says

    I think I Liked you on FB. But I usually access your site at work as you update so often and I like reading all the comments as well as searching for Lucy pics.

    My fav is wild rice and it would be great to have one of these as I always get gummy rice….especially if I make it.

  124. Lisa says

    I follow you on facebook, or rather my sister and I both do under the account we share under the name “Twyla Cox”. lol

  125. Liz says

    I love me some fresh-steamed veggies on the side of just about anything. As long as it’s not limp as a noodle, I’m down!

  127. Ann says

    I love Rice Pilaf and almost any kind of veggies. My son loves pasta with cheese sauce so we go back and forth on that!

  135. Melinda D says

    I love all kinds of side dishes! I have to mix it up so the natives here don’t get bored with dinner. =)

  139. Kris says

    I’ve liked you on Facebook, I follow you on Pinterest, and I get your email newsletter.

  144. Reid says

    veggies are my go to just because I don’t have a rice cooker and I’m not much into the instant rice but I LOVE RICE!!

  146. Mary Stewart says

    I eat rice EVERYDAY! Definitely for dinner but sometimes for breakfast too!. So winning that cooker would be wonderful!

  148. Mary Stewart says

    I am already subscribed to your daily email, that’s how I knew about the RICE COOKER GIVEAWAY!!!!!

  149. Sandy says

    A favorite rice dish is one I make into a full meal, like Spanish Rice, then love to use leftover rice dishes in morning breakfast burritos.

  150. Liz says

    I love any kind of potato side: mashed, baked, roasted, any and all of them. What I make the most is a fresh veggie and fruit plate since I have two very selective young eaters at my dinner table! That way everyone gets at least one fruit and one veggie they like at each meal, and hopefully will try something new or that isn’t a favorite.

  154. Dale says

    My favorite dish of any kind is ?w/rice. I grew up in Hawaii and my mom would make us rice and eggs for breakfast. Absolutely love it. Porkchops and rice with a steamed vegie on the side. Love your web-site.

  159. JennyA says

    I am subscribed to your newsletter…love it and read it always…thanx for the giveaway opportunity!

  162. Jennifer Harrington says

    Favorite side dish is jasmine rice. So fragrant and yummy! We also love fresh veggies.

  163. Nicole Dugger says

    I love rice, I have it with my fish and chicken dinners. I spoil myself sometimes with a mayo/ketchup mix, totally not good for me but it tastes so good. I first used a rice cooker last weekend and I do have to say it is much easier than hoping it cooks all the way through with a pot. I would love to try it with veggies as every meal I have a component of some kind of veggie. I read your emails everyday looking for good tips and tricks. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!!!!

  164. Zoe says

    Just started following your blog. Love it so far. 🙂 My favorite sides are steamed veggeies and salads.

  165. bonnie says

    Depends on the main dish: chicken gets chicken rice, beef gets beef rice and Chinese gets my favorite – FRIED RICE!!!! YUMMY!

  169. Teckla says

    I’ve subscribed to your daily newsletters for some time now. Always find something interesting!

  177. Katie B. says

    Rice is a huge staple in our diet, since my hubbie is gluten free. We have it 3x a week a least. Our favorite way is basic with chicken stock and a bit of aromatics. Although I do opt for plain white rice for my homemade versions of chinese food 🙂

  180. Brandi @ Savvy Student Shopper says

    Rice.. or noodles or veggies! I like sides more than the main course 😀

  184. Beth PR says

    Salad or roasted veggies, and sometimes, roasted veggies thrown into a salad, especially when it’s cold out.

  187. Amber says

    I LOVE salad…usually it’s my main dish. My kids love rice more than potatoes and pasta, and I think it’s a much better choice. I used to go the instant rice way, but it tasted pretty crumbly, so I decided to start making “Real” rice. Well, it turns out I suck at making rice, it’s too mushy or not cooked enough. Enter my cheapo rice cooker…..perfect every time and no one gets a stomach ache!

    I would LOVE a nice rice cooker with enough room to steam veggies too!

  193. Becka says

    It’s hard to narrow it down to one side dish, but I have been roasting a lot of vegetables lately and love them fixed this way. A new favorite is butternut squash with plenty of garlic and topped with Parmesan cheese. Yum!

  195. Demarie says

    I love rice and cook it often, definitely must have a rice cooker, I cannot get it down in a pot.

  197. LaVerne says

    My favorite side dishes are salads – ANY KIND of salads. Green salads. Potato salad. Three Bean Salad. Cole Slaw. Carrot salad. Fruit salad. I love ’em all. I’m not a big rice eater, mainly because I don’t have a whole lot of success cooking rice. A rice cookers would be great to help me expand. Think of it: RICE salad!

  209. Dianna says

    I like frozen green beans with horseradish, lemon butter, and lots of salt! I have a lemon rice recipe that would go well in a rice cooker too, I think.

  211. Kaia says

    I do love rice as a side, but our main dish usually has plenty of carbs, so I like to have salad or veggies as a side.

  230. Kendra Puzzo says

    Never used a rice cooker, but if it saves me time I am all for it. We love Dehraduni Basmati Rice. Cooked with Chicken broth and Asian spices with any steamed veggie.

  235. Louise Midyette says

    Sliced tomatoes with mayo salt and pepper in the summer and sweet potatoes all the time

  240. Katie says

    Rice is my favorite side dish, so much so that my family thinks I will turn into rice!

  241. Cathy says

    Now a days our rice cooker is just for rice. Plain old white rice. But back in college we used to heat cans of soup, ramen, even heat up oil and make this crazy rice dish my roommate used to make. Something with oil and frying the rice in it with seasoning before steaming it.

  242. Veronica says

    I like homemade rolls and white rice. Our main dishes tend to have lots of veggies and a little meat, so our sides are mostly starches. I don’t have a rice cooker – it would be nice to free up a burner on our stove.

  249. Cristina says

    My favorite side dish would probably be roasted veggies with olive oil and herbs de provence 😀

  253. Ln says

    Apparently this isn’t very original, but I do love just about any kind of roasted vegetables. Yum!

  254. Sheila Smith says

    A favorite side of mine is a Rice a Roni cheat that is cheap and liked by 3 of 4 in my house. Son will not eat Rice or potatoes.

  258. julie says

    we are trying to get rid of the winter blubber soooo a lot more vegetables are on the menu. we found a teriyaki recipe though, that goes well with chicken and beef, and of course rice. Anything that makes cooking easier is welcome in our kitchen.

  260. rebecca says

    My favorite side dish is steamed broccoli florets with a little Earth Balance, garlic and salt. Perfect!

  262. Emily says

    My favorite side dish is mashed potatoes, which we save for special occasions. We eat rice several times a week, so this would get lots of good use. My husband will be especially excited if we win.

  265. Janice Shifflett says

    I’m from south Louisiana so of course my favorite side dish is rice! I follow you in Pinterest and subscribe by e-mail.

  267. April says

    I don’t have a favorite rice dish but that Sweetened Orange Rice just might become one! Can’t wait to try it.

  268. April says

    Crud, I meant to add this to my previous comment: I liked you on Facebook. Didn’t know you had a FB page until today! 🙂

  269. janet says

    Salads and veggies for sure. However I love rice, especially brown!
    Thank you, I have learned so much from your blog.

  270. Dena H says

    We LOVE rice! I usually make a big pot of it on the stove and then freeze the leftovers. If I had a rice cooker my rice would always be hot and fresh!

  271. Karen A says

    My favorite side dish is homemade pinto beans. Yum! Makes me want to start some now.

  274. Karen A says

    I am a newsletter subscriber. Your email comes at a time of the work day that I need a little distraction. Always welcome!

  275. Mary Van Keuren says

    My favorite rice dish is pilau, a spiced rice dish (sometimes with meat, but not always) from Tanzania and East Africa (by way of India, I think), where I lived for many years. Even now, when I make it, it brings me back to my African home again.

  277. JoAnn C says

    My family is totally in love with French green beans from our garden steamed and then sautéed with browned bread crumbs garlic and Parmesan cheese. Yum-oh

  278. A. Theissen says

    Mavis, your site is the best. Had to tell you now because I am not a commenter, just a lurker. I love a rice pilaf! I follow you on facebook and am subscribed to your daily email.

    Thanks so much!

  279. Christopher says

    We have been enjoying following you via email, so today We Subscribed to Your YouTube channel.

  281. Christopher says

    We “Liked” and commented on Your Facebook page; “Now that it is officially spring, … ” from Yesterday.

  283. j says

    favorite dish is veggies. i follow you via rss reader but no bonus for it. i have mediocre internet signal so waiting for downloads the other ways takes too long when i just want to read what you write.

  284. Linda says

    Since my husband’s heart attack at the young age of 44, we eat a lot of steamed veggies and a lot of brown rice. (Yes, we eat other dishes too but this is about rice, right?! LOL!!!!) My kids love spanish rice and jasmine rice. Always wondered if a rice dish was worth the extra room in my small kitchen – I’ll have to check out those Amazon reviews!!

  285. Jamie H says

    My favorite side dish is coconut rice. But, the reason it is my favorite is the left overs. I will toss a bit in my bamboo steamer basket with a couple (okay a lot) of chocolate chips on top and let it warm up. I may or may not have then spooned it over chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

    The best side dishes are ones you get and extra meal out of!

  287. Carla says

    Our favorite side dish is brown Basmati rice – yummy!
    And it would be the bomb to win a rice cooker..;)

    ~Carla

  290. Patti M says

    My favorite side is veggies. I also love rice and have wondered if this rice cooker would be a good purchase. My present one leaves the rice clumpy.

  294. Mary Howe says

    I make veggies for side dish but would love to have rice. I follow you on Facebook, emails, and maybe Pinterest I think you are awesome

  296. Ruthie says

    Rice and broccoli is my fav combo, esp since I’ve gone gluten-free. Would love one of these!

  304. Karen at A Glimpse Into My Reveries says

    My favorite way to serve rice is under a stirfry of lightly cooked veggies, thinly sliced Zaycon chicken breast cut into thin strips, drizzle lightly with Yoshida’s Gourmet Sauce! Yum!

    I am a follower on both Facebook and your newsletters.

  313. Michelle S says

    Veggies, salad, potatoes in some form or various rices are our go-to side dishes. I get made fun of because I cook my rice in the microwave….maybe if I had one of these, the jokes would stop! 😉

  329. Stacey says

    I love tamales, rice & beans in the ricemaker. I use mine so much its time for a new one!

  331. Phyllis says

    My favorite side dish is any veggie fresh from my garden. Really love to grill yellow summer squash. In the winter love mac & chesse.

  343. Vicki says

    I’m a huge rice fan, and it’s one of my favorite side dishes – especially basmati rice with butter and a little lemon, maybe some tarragon thrown in for good measure. It goes with everything. I just moved in with my daughter from my brother’s house, and I have to say that besides the people, their rice cooker is what I miss the most! I’d love to win one!

  344. Gwen says

    We have recently discovered couscous. Anything I can get my boys to eat without complaining.

  345. liz says

    Love zucchini diced up and sauteed with onion and tomatoes and flavored with some Knorr chicken bullion.

  349. Lisa Scott says

    Favorite sides are green beans and mashed potatoes. Brings that wonderful comfort food feel to any meal!
    I follow you on Facebook, twitter and pinterest! I love to read your email newsletter. It inspires me so much. I try to garden like you, but I totally fail. So I look at your beautiful garden and pretend its mine 🙂
    Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

  350. anne-marie constantine says

    My favorite side dish is salad, but mostly because my 3 year old can help out. We do love rice, as well.

  353. Gina says

    I grew up in the south eating rice with pretty much everything so rice is probably my FAVORITE side! However, these days I’ve been trying to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. Rice + the vegetables equal one terrific meal though!

  354. Gina says

    I liked you on Facebook and commented on the lettuce in gutters article. I can’t wait to get started with that project this weekend!

  355. Gina says

    I pinned the giveaway on Pinterest! I would so love to have a rice cooker! Sounds like something I would LOVE!

  356. Julia says

    I would like to cook Spanish rice. For whatever reason, I always seem to overcook or undercook rice.

  357. Joy says

    I always seem to mess up rice so I would be pumped to have oone of these. My favorite rice dish is your Sweet and Sour Meatballs. I make it about once a week now!

  358. Brenda says

    The rice cooker looks so nice, I have never owned one. For me and my family, our favorite side is Broccoli and rice casserole. Yumm! It is the most requested dish for special holiday and family gatherings.
    Thanks!

  359. Vickie says

    My favorite side dish is mashed potatoes. I buy the frozen ones from Trader Joe’s. Just heat whatever amount you want and serve. Basmati rice is another of my favorites.

  361. Linda says

    Oh my – I would love this so much, as my favorite side dish is organic brown rice with a conglomeration of whatever veggies to throw in I have on hand. I add chicken broth, steam it, and, it almost always tastes terrific!

  362. Emily Delaney says

    We have quinoa salad or ceasar salad a lot. We love brown rice, but I always forget to start it in time for dinner.

  365. Mandy Mascaro says

    My favorite side dish is really any kind of vegetable, especially the green ones! I love broccoli and spinach.

  369. Laura P says

    My favorite side dish is salad with Olive Garden dressing. I could eat it with every meal every day!

  375. Chelsea Klebba says

    My husband and I both love green beans as a side for almost every meal! Although I find it really hard to resist perfectly steamed broccoli as well!

  383. Keisha says

    Fav side dish: salad….well I get a little carried away with the vegetables and it becomes the main dish.

  385. Caitlin | The Siren's Tale says

    What a fun giveaway! Thanks for offering it 🙂 I have so many favorite side dishes, but I’d have to say my absolute favorite is brown rice couscous. I’m a big rice fan and could eat it every day, but I try to switch up the ‘styles’ I eat.

  386. Caitlin | The Siren's Tale says

    I liked your page on Facebook (my FB name is Shug Frazier). I also followed you on G+ (my G+ name is thesirenstale)

  387. Annie P says

    Any veggies
    I liked you on FB and follow you on Pinterest
    I commented on your son’s cologne wearing

  388. Molly says

    Currently my favorite side is the kale salad from Costco.
    Please enter me in the giveaway.
    Thanks.

  392. Heidi Ho says

    Well now Mavis, that is a loaded question because I love alot of different side dishes… hmmm right now I would say steamed broccoli with olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes and parmesan, also great using asparagus. YUMMY!

  393. Lina says

    Pretty much always do a side salad. For some reason I have not figured out how to get my rice done perfectly on my new stovetop, so a rice cooker would be awesome 🙂

  398. Sadie Salazar says

    We cook at home usually 5-6 nights per week. I always try to have a grain and vegetable along with lean protein. Our favorite side dishes are rice, spaghetti squash, steamed carrots, and yellow squash. Those I can guarantee the family will eat. 🙂

    I commented on your Facebook page about the Slow Cooker Meatloaf! Can’t wait to try this recipe when I know our night is going to be crazy.

    Then I also liked you on Facebook (not sure how this wasn’t already the case) and subscribed to your newsletter via email! Thanks for all the great information that you post!

  408. Janet says

    I wish I could say that my favorite side dish was salad but in reality, the first choice would be potatoes. I do, however, still like salad–it is second choice!

  412. Beth says

    We like quinoa as a side dish and I also make a lot of rice- I usually use vegetable or chicken broth in place of water when I make either dish. Thank you for the great giveaway!

  413. Elisabeth says

    My favorite side dish is potatoes made any way! Thanks for the giveaway! I hope I win because I have always wanted to try a rice cooker and this looks like a really nice one!

  415. Jessica W.S. says

    I also love cooking my brown rice in a rice-cooker, but mine is so old it is burning the rice in certain spots – yikes! Great giveaway! 🙂

  416. Dan says

    My favorite side dish is anything with rice such as a pilaf, but I also loved a quinoa kale salad I just made with a honey mustard dressing.

  417. Melanie Morris says

    Rice is our favorite side dish my hubby could eat it 7 days a week. Our second favorite is steamed broccoli.

  418. Mary P says

    My favorite side dish (right now) is sliced cucumbers in a dressing of sour cream, red wine vinegar and sugar. Cool and crunchy!

  419. Ingrid says

    My favorite side dish is green salad with cranberries and feta. Thank you for this awesome giveaway!

  424. Jennifer Kashuba says

    My favorite side dish is steamed asparagus with lots of butter and salt. i cannot cook rice without it being hard in the middle to save my life so this would be absolutely perfect for me!

  427. erinsuzanne says

    Depends on the season- right now I can’t get enough chopped salad topped with feta and homemade herb-buttermilk dressing. Come fall, roasted root veggies with a lot of olive oil. But I love rice- I eat it all year round and particularly love having leftover rice for breakfast!

  429. Erin Ellis says

    If I’m being bad it’s homemade mac and cheese….If I’m being good it’s a nice green salad with extra tomatoes 😉
    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

  434. Tina W says

    My favorite side dish is probably roasted carrots. I don’t know why, but lately I just cannot get enough of them!!!

  436. Sheila M. says

    My favorite side dish is mashed potatoes…..until I win a rice cooker…..then it will probably be rice 🙂

  437. Julie P. says

    Favorite side dish: dessert. I’m not a big sides fan. It takes too much effort to plan that much 🙂

    I love a big ole bowl of plain white rice with butter and salt! It tastes like childhood to me.

  464. Carla S says

    My favorite side dishes are casseroles like macaroni and cheese and green bean casserole.

  468. Alison Feldman says

    For a side we always have a veggie as well as either pasta or rice. I subscribed to your newsletter, have always followed you on pinterest and facebook, shared the giveaway link that you put on facebook, and commented on that facebook post about crock pot meatloaf. That is all 5 entries that are possible, my fingers are crossed. I would love to get a new rice cooker 🙂

  470. Michelle R says

    Favorite side dish for myself is salad but with my crockpot meals it is rice or quinoa.

  477. Heather Pivinski says

    Potatoes! They’re so versatile and so delicious! Enjoying your blog! 🙂

    I’m a stereotypical Asian when it comes to food. Love rice with every meal. Picked up some organic brown and wild, but can’t seem to get the right consistency of moisture to made it edible. I can do white rice blindfolded! I noticed the different buttons on this model and would love to try it.

  491. C Risley says

    In our house, steamed white rice and tossed salad are the trusted side dish duo at least four times a week! Can’t go wrong when those two are on the table!

  493. Patricia M says

    White basmati rice is definitely a side we eat every week. The other grain sides we eat are couscous and grits.

  498. Cliff Hawley says

    *Bonus Entry* I commented on your eHow article about using starts. I really liked the article btw.

    I commented on your butter post on Facebook! “This is such a great idea! I think we’ll try it!”

  520. M Morales says

    OOoooh! Gotta try making our own butter. The kids said they want to work out more. haha NJROTC kids are fun.

  521. Laurie Ashley says

    Our favorite side dish here is Jasmine rice. My rice cooker went out this last winter (it was going on 12 yrs old, so can’t complain) but we used it darn near every day. Rice is good for breakfast, good for lunch, good for dinner! It goes in gumbo, stands alone pretty well, or can be used in all kinds of other sides (spanish rice, in enchiladas, etc).

    • Laurie Ashley says

      Also, am a follower on facebook, shared your post there so my friends can enter too! As well, left a comment on your post, AND we have long since been a follower of your email daily blog newsletter 🙂

  523. Renee A. says

    Well,I’m from the south and my husband is southeast asian so we HAVE to have rice for dinner….we don’t get people who don’t eat rice here in WA. 🙂

  525. Angie W says

    As bad as I hate to admit it, my true favorite side is macaroni and cheese. (I know I should have named a vegetable.)

  526. Elizabeth says

    Our favorite side dish is country fried venison. Since our first course is always veggies and our second is veggies and a starch, when we also have meat, it is as a side dish. The kids love having country fried venison because they like to dip it in gravy.

  529. Earlene says

    We love rice. A friend gifted me 20 lbs. of wild rice, so this would be perfect to use to cook it up. I subscribe daily, love your post Mavis!!

  530. Dawn Arnold says

    Our favorite side dish is Trader Joe’s Macaroni and cheese from the frozen section. It is the bomb!

  533. Dawn Arnold says

    Left a post on your Facebook page under the Killing time in Costco post, also know as the $200.00 store.

  539. Linda says

    I get your emails, I follow on Instagram and I like you on Facebook …. Thanks for the opportunity!

  545. Teresa Young says

    My favorite side dish is rice of any kind – it’s my favorite main dish & dessert too 🙂

  549. Renee says

    We love bin #7129 at Yokes. It is a wildrice blend and we have it every night with dinner. We use to use some cheap rice cooker we had that spit rice water all over. I recently purchased the Tupperware rice cooker which we are loving, but you can’t stack and steam. I followed you on fb, pinterest and signed up for emails. The funny thing is, One Hundred Dollars a Month is one of the three bookmarks I have so I follow you everyday 🙂

  551. Shelley Hunter says

    Favorite side dish is mashed potatoes. We eat rice at least 5 meals a week, our rice cooker just broke so would be awesome to win this!
