What are some other ideas for using Ready to Serve Family Bowls?

• Make fried rice! One of the secrets to making great fried rice is using cold rice. Instead of cooking your Family Bowl, add to your favorite blend of veggies, egg and seasoning at room temperature.

• Stir in your favorite pre-made sauces, seasonings or cheese for a quick, one-dish meal.

• Don’t have enough leftovers for a whole meal? Supplement what you do have with a Family Bowl to create a whole new meal!

• Simply serve as a side dish for any meal. Keep a few stocked in your pantry so you have them on hand at all times! Stir in frozen vegetables for a little color pop.

Here are some of my favorite recipes that you can also incorporate in with new Family Bowls!

• Easy Restaurant Style Fried Rice
• Pineapple Fried Rice
• Red Beans and Rice
