Julieanne, can i ask what's the mexican rice? is it free and something that you can make quick?

Julie, you are doing the right thing with your knee, hope it's getting a little better everyday and Chris is looking after you [grouphug]

i made a risotto for lunch [msneek] it was actualy much nicer than i thought it would be and for the qty of rice i used it made tons so Roger finished it off, just need to go look up syns for a veggie stock cube

Marie - sometimes I cheat and use the packets of Uncle Bens Express Rice - they do a Mexican and also a Spicy Mexican. Have these as they are easy for me to do in the microwave at work. I'm not really following any plan just trying to eat well..... so I don't know what they will be on SW - would be interested to know though if you are looking them up [msnsmile]

Other times I make my own with wholegrain rice, boiled in water with some curry powder or tumeric etc and add lots of spicy kidney beans, peppers and sweetcorn [msntongue]
