I served this stir fry with a Five-Spice Rice (recipe also below) Enjoy! Continue reading

Spanish Yellow Rice
Since my husband is both Italian and Latin we have the best of both of those worlds and cuisines! As I’ve previously mentioned we love pasta, but we also love Latin food of all kinds. And rice is a staple in our household. I shared our coconut rice recipe recently and decided to share this easy to make yet so tasty Spanish yellow rice. Heidi also loves to cook Latin food…she makes a black bean & cilantro dip that’s amazing and ceviche that is absolutely divine! Hopefully she will be sharing those recipes with us in the future!
