BAKED RICE
This rice has a mild, pleasant flavor. For color and extra nutrition, I sometimes add a bit of carrot, celery, tomato, peas or corn-whatever I have handy.-Mary Jo Massnick, Stuart, Florida

BAKED RICE WITH SLOW-ROASTED TOMATOES AND GARLIC
Baking rice on a bed of tender vegetables has to be one of the most fail-safe ways to prepare it. Here tangy-sweet tomatoes, garlic and shallots are slowly roasted in olive oil with cinnamon and thyme, then baked with basmati rice until everything is fragrant and soft. Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, "Ottolenghi Simple," it makes a spectacular side dish to pan-seared meats or fish, or can be the heart of a vegetarian meal with some crumbled feta and pine nuts sprinkled on top for serving.

MOM'S GREEN RICE
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW always served green rice with her chicken casserole. She was a great cook, and the local newspaper featured her several times as "cook of the week". This creation of hers is one of our family's favorites. I'm thrilled to share it with Reminisce readers. -Nancy Beatty, Springfield, Illinois

MOM'S BAKED RICE PUDDING
I love this rich pudding. It is not a dieter's friend but I have lightened it up from time to time. What makes this special is the short grain rice, whole milk and butter. Comfort food at its finest.

Steps:
- Turn oven to 325F and grease large casserole dish.
- Pour in first 5 ingredients and stir well. It will look like a lot of milk but it isn't too much.
- If you want raisins and cinnamon stir it in now. I never put them in as my family prefers it without.
- Dot the top of the ingredients with chunks of butter.
- Bake for 2-3 hours. Stir every 15 minutes for the first hour and then just let it cook. Check it at 2 hours and if it is getting dry add another cup of milk and stir. Taste test to be sure rice is cooked.
- It will get a nice brown skin on top. You can remove it but I like to stir it in as I serve it. It is very flavourful.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli.
- Cook the rice until it is al dente: This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Use a flavorful broth: This will help to enhance the taste of the rice. Chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth are all good options.
- Add some seasonings: This could include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. Feel free to experiment and find the combination that you like best.
- Top with your favorite toppings: This could include cheese, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. You could also add some cooked chicken, beef, or shrimp.
