Rice Pilaf Recipe

October 31, 2020 by Anna 5 Comments

This Rice Pilaf is the easiest rice dish you can make! The rice is cooked in stock with sauteed vegetables and herbs. This flavorful dish is perfect for your holiday table.

This dish is perfect even for beginners and packed with flavor, just like my Chicken and Rice Soup or Chicken Fried Rice.

If you are familiar with the boxed rice pilaf, like Rice-O-Roni, then you will love this homemade version. You may be surprised how easy it is to make it from scratch. It’s a simple side dish but add chicken or ham and you can turn it into a meal. Perfect if you have Thanksgiving leftovers!

This easy Creamed Corn is made from scratch with just 5 ingredients. Simple, classic and delicious side dish for your holiday dinner!

This corn dish is so easy to make, just like my Fresh Corn Salad and the Sweet Corn Casserole. Perfect for fans of this vegetable!

We live in Kansas so corn is a staple in my kitchen. Whether it’s summer or winter, corn dishes appear on our table, especially during the holidays. This Creamed Corn is super quick to make, especially if you need a last-minute dish. I used canned corn because it is available all year round, but fresh or frozen works great too. My go-to half and half and cornstarch mixture makes this dish gluten-free and ensures the best texture.
