SO HOW'D IT GO?
This may be a dumb question but what size jar of salsa am I supposed to use? I'm guessing its a smaller jar but I just want to make sure because I'm still new to cooking on my own... actually last night was the first time I really cooked dinner for me and my family. Please help asap!!!!
I make something pretty much like this and I love it!!! I also put some diced black olives into the mix.
i made something really similar when trying to just throw something together from what i had in my cupboards. i used brown rice instead of white though and added some black olives and nutritional yeast. it was really good!
this was wonderful. i added some spices for a bit more flavor but it was very good. i just became a vegan. and this site has helped me out so much. thank you.
