Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Confetti Rice


cheese, side dish, grains, diabetic

1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
1 small onion; chopped
3/4 cup brown basmati rice; soaked 2 hours
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme; crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cup chicken broth or
1 vegetable stock
1/2 cup dice red bell pepper
