It’s also quite revealing to…

ricearoni with broccoli

Let’s learn how to jazz up your Rice-A-Roni three ways. Growing up, we had a lot of food from boxes or packages.   Pretty much the only thing we made from scratch was my mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies (a family secret), pancakes, and biscuits. I can now understand why we had so many pre-made food…
