Hero Rice
We all have great intentions with our leftovers. We let them sit in cute little containers or Ziplock bags and swear we’re going to eat them tomorrow, but somehow tomorrow never comes. I get it; using up leftovers is hard, but this rice recipe is sure to get you excited about it.
Since this is all about using up your food, the measurements are very fluid. It all depends on what food you have available in the fridge, so feel free to tweak measurements to match your needs. I recommend using greens like spinach or kale, but it’s all up to you. You want to add peppers? Cool. Green beans? Go for it. Grilled chicken? Give it a whirl. The sky’s the limit.
