Ben and I are trying to eat healthier so I made some make ahead lunches from runawayapricot.com for him to take to work. We were both skeptical at first about whether or not they would taste good.

As soon as I tasted this rice though I was in heaven. It is soooo good! I gave it to my one year old too and he devoured it, so I wanted to make the recipe smaller so that I could make it just for a meal, but if you want to make some delicious lunches head on over here!
