Rice Pilaf With Almonds image

A dear friend gave me this recipe after she found it in her Taste of Home magazine. (You can see the original submission at: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Potluck-Rice-Pilaf) It was originally to be made for a crowd, but we quartered the recipe for our family. Quick, easy, and tasty! Hope you and your family enjoy as much as we do! (Toasting almonds is not included in prep time.)
