0:00
- Who decorated these baskets?
0:02
Who filled the baskets?
0:05
- Ah, nah, I don't believe you
0:08
because the Easter bunny is not even
0:12
on the trail yet, Eddie.
0:16
He can't, he couldn't have slipped
0:19
in here and did these Easter baskets.
0:22
So I think maybe the Easter bunny helper did it,
0:28
Who's the Easter bunny helper.
0:31
- [Speaker 1] There were two Easter bunny helpers.
0:33
- Oh, two Easter bunny helpers.
0:35
Okay. Well, they're so cute.
0:38
You know, I've shared with ya'll on videos how,
0:43
aww, look so cute peeps, little peeps.
0:48
Oh, so cute, I love those little peeps.
0:52
We made a dessert the other day using those little peeps
0:58
Hopefully you can find that recipe somewhere
1:01
on the video, on the, that thing right there.
1:06
That Eddie's pointing at me.
1:11
Last year, I did not make Easter baskets for my
1:15
grandchildren because COVID had just hit
1:19
and nobody was going anywhere.
1:23
So that was very sad.
1:26
And now this Easter, now that we feel safe to get back with
1:31
our immediate families, all the Easter stuff,
1:39
the Easter bunny put it in storage.
1:47
but that's neither hear nor there,
1:49
stuff happens, you know.
1:53
- [Eddie] A big celebration.
1:54
- Yes, so I'm going to share with y'all
1:57
and you probably already got this recipe.
2:01
I would think everybody would know how to do this.
2:03
It's Cari, ours is Rooks, Cari Rooks, my niece.
2:08
This is her favorite rice recipe.
2:12
And Cari brings it to every family meal that we have
2:16
like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter.
2:19
She always brings this and I've got, that's probably
2:25
it's probably a cup, right at a cup of chopped onions.
2:30
So I'm going to, you know what, before I do that, I think
2:36
I don't think we have to worry about it sticking
2:38
but just to make me feel better
2:41
I'm gonna do a little squirt.
2:45
I mean, this is so simple and you know, I don't
2:49
I don't do it very often and I don't know why
2:53
I guess I think of it as Cari's dish
2:55
and it should be a holiday.
2:57
So I'm going to put our chopped onion first
3:03
on the bottom of our dish.
3:08
And then the recipe tells you to cut up.
3:15
Well, the recipe actually says margarine, but you know
3:20
I don't believe in anything but the real deal.
3:22
So we're using butter and you just cut that butter
3:27
up and drop it on top of them onions.
3:35
And I think I'm going to just use that much,
3:41
not quite a whole stick.
3:44
All right, the next thing I'm going to put in
3:48
and the recipe does not call for these, but we are,
3:54
I'm thinking I'm gonna put the rice next.
3:57
So I've got one cup of long grain white rice,
4:09
And like I said, the recipe doesn't call for mushrooms
4:15
but our family just happens to love them.
4:19
So it's just be nice and mushroom-ey.
4:31
Can you believe (inaudible) is up on that?
4:36
Okay. The next thing I'm going to add is two cans
4:47
I like to use one can of consomme
4:50
and one can of just beef broth.
4:53
But you know, this is just fine, just like this.
5:00
So you can actually, you know, if you use those wet bases
5:05
if you use those wet bases
5:07
you could make your own beef broth.
5:11
You wouldn't necessarily have to buy cans of soup,
5:20
All right, let's see now, I'm going to cover this
5:25
and I'm gonna cook it for one hour.
5:30
The picture, the recipe reads 350.
5:38
If Cari knew I was making this she would be over here in
5:42
two shakes of the bunny rabbits tail.
5:48
Okay, that's it on our carbohydrate,
5:57
lots of carbs side to go along with our pork tenderloin.
6:04
We'll see you in one hour.
6:06
Our timer just went off of our Brown rice.
6:11
So it's been in there for one hour.
6:15
Whew, that's ever more some kinda heat.
6:25
This, I'm gonna cut this oven off.
6:30
And this Brown rice goes with just about any kind of meat.
6:36
It's great with beef, pork, chicken.
6:39
So whatever you're cooking for your Easter meal.
6:54
That Looks delicious, doesn't it?
6:58
Now I'm going to let it sit and let that rice keep soaking
7:01
up that wonderful beef consomme.
7:07
And this is the perfect side, for no matter what
7:10
you're cooking or shoot you could add some more vegetables
7:16
to that and have one bowl meal, couldn't you Eddie?
7:20
- [Eddie] Yes, that's what I like.
7:21
- Well, if you cook this at Easter
7:23
I think you'll be very, very happy with it.
7:28
So there's not a bunch more to say
7:33
about this wonderful Brown rice
7:37
other than it just tastes so dang dog good.
7:40
- [Eddie] Get a spoon.
7:42
- [Eddie] Get a spoon.
7:44
And I definitely recommend putting the mushrooms
7:47
in it because that makes it much more meaty,
7:52
you know it's got some texture and meat to it.
7:55
So I'm just going to let that sit there, ouch!
7:59
I'm gonna let that keep drinking, speaking of drinking,
8:06
would anybody like a drink?
8:09
Eddie said thumbs up.
8:11
I'm ready for another diet soda, Eddie.
