Back to School with Minute Rice Ready to Serve Cups #MinuteRice

Rice dishes are among our favorites; they are always tasty and easy to prepare without having special cooking skills. Back to School time is already here and we are always looking for ways to make our transition from summer adventures to fall classes easier and smoother. Our big family is always busy with travels, physical activities and educational programs, and we do not always have time for cooking hot meals. We have already appreciated the fast and easy instant Minute Rice when camping and living in a tent during summer time.


This fall Minute Rice introduces Ready To Serve Cups just on-time for busy Back-to-School season. They come in six delicious varieties Basmati, Whole Grain, Oriental Style, Vegetable Medley, Long Grain & Wild Rice – Fine Herbs, Long Grain & Wild Rice – Chicken Flavour and Mexican to fit a wide range of tastes. Available as a sleeve of two 125 gram microwaveable cups, they need only one minute to be ready. Busy at school, no time to cook between activities, tired after hockey practice or no energy to cook after long work hours, convenient Minute Rice cups are here to help. The rice can be eaten straight out of the serving cup, as a side dish, or combined with chicken, beef, lamb, fish or vegetable for a quick one-dish meal. I like that Oriental Style, Long Grain & Wild Rice and Vegetable Medley because they contain additional ingredients like chicken flavour and vegetables, so they are final dishes ready to eat. If you want to use rice as a base for a meal and add your own ingredients, check Basmati and Whole Grain varieties which come as plain rice.

If you have children at the college or university, Minute Rice Ready To Serve Cups are very convenient way to serve hungry students with healthy and delicious meal without breaking a bank, one sleeve is about $2.75, plus with discount coupon, it is going to be even less. Another amazing benefit of Minute Rice cups is that you can cook fast and easy meals with your kids. Minute Rice offers a bunch of great recipes and I tried some with my kid, for example Minute Rice Chicken & Wild Rice Salad. It takes only 20 minutes in total to prepare but it was fun being a little chef and serve the family with delicious salad.
