GRANDMA'S APPLES AND RICE



Grandma's Apples and Rice image

LIKE MOST women of her generation, my husband's grandmother was a "no-measure cook". This recipe of hers suffered as it was handed down, so I made an effort to work out the kinks. Finally, my husband pronounced the results as good as he remembered, and we declared it the "official" recipe. -Joan Kasura, Silver Spring, Maryland

GRANDMA'S RICE DISH

My grandmother often made rice dishes when I was young. I forgot about this casserole until I found myself one day adding the same ingredients to leftover rice. The memories came flooding back, and I've made this recipe regularly since then. -Lorna Moore, Glendora, California

APPLE RICE CASSEROLE



Apple Rice Casserole image

This delicious side dish is a real change of pace. The rice soaks up the juice from the apples and becomes plump and sweet. Leftovers can be used for breakfast, hot or cold, served with a dollop of yogurt. Recipe from the cookbook Lean and Luscious and Meatless.
