This is a very yummy rice recipe. I served it with burritos and it was a delicious addition! I found this recipe on Allrecipes. I love finding recipes on that site. You always can read through the reviews and see what people thought and what they changed.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup chopped onion

I like mexican rice and this looks yummy. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for posting!
Looks and sounds simple, yet delicious. I'll give it a try, but I'll probably add some sliced scallions for color and flavor.

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started!
