Southwestern Rice

June 22, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have been in my garden picking my tomatoes and peppers.  The tomatoes are just starting to ripen, I have a few little ones, which will go perfect in my salad.  However, my peppers are going crazy.  I have so many of them growing that I can’t keep up with them.  I wasn’t sure what to make with all my peppers, so I decided why not make an awesome rice dish that I can eat for dinner and have for lunches this week.  This recipe has it all spicy, flavor and it’s gluten-free and vegan.  Perfect for serving any foodie in your family.  My Husband actually liked it, which was kind of shocking considering it didn’t have any meat.  But hey, how can you not?  It’s so good.  Today’s recipe is Southwestern Rice.

This recipe is a breeze to make and it’s about 30 minutes max time.  It’s spicy, loaded with flavor and very hearty.  It’s great on its own, or adding to a taco or dipping tortilla chips in it.  Yum!  I got this recipe idea from a spin-off of my stuffed peppers.  It’s made pretty much like the filling of stuffed peppers, but hearty and not liquidy at all.  Is liquidy and word? Huh, I could stuff peppers with it too.  I just thought of that.  I may just do that this week, with my poblanos.

Southwestern Rice


The recipe is made with Anaheim peppers from my garden, which are tad spicy, but amazing flavor.  One of my favorite peppers, next to poblanos and jalapenos.  If you like less heat, you can use bell or sweet peppers.  Both will be good.  I also added onions and garlic to the mix. I used my mini food processor to cut up the peppers and onions. I added them to my skillet with some olive oil and cooked until they were tender, I added tomatoes, brown rice, vegetable broth, cumin, oregano and salt & pepper.  Cook for 15 minutes and then add the corn and black beans.  That’s pretty much it!  So quick. The longest time was prepping. Everything else was a pieces of cake.

Here’s a story for you.  I cut my peppers, and washed my hands after I was done. I used a paper towel to dry my hands off.  I left the paper towel on the counter.  The onions, made my eyes burn, so I grabbed my paper towel that I used on the peppers to dry my eyes.  HUGE mistake!  My face was on fire.  Talk about doing something so stupid.  Well After a few minutes of leaving water on my eyes, I am all better.  I will never do that.  I don’t get why onions bother me so much?

Southwestern Rice

I love vegetarian dishes like this.  It’s so easy and it lasts for a few days in the refrigerator.  Perfect for lunches or a quick dinner.  Or make a big batch for a Fiesta party.

I always tend to forget how much fun I have making rice dishes.  I don’t make them to often, but  I really should.  I am just ticked pink that I have lunches for a few days.

I hope you have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Thank you! The burrito sounds good. I have been dipping tortilla chips in it. It tastes good cold.

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
