Hi everyone!  I just made this for lunch today and realized it's great for sharing, too.  I got this recipe years ago while working at a group home.  It's easy, colorful, and tastes great!

Calico Rice

(Minute Rice works best, as it doesn't get sticky.)

Make 2 cups of rice, and while it's cooking, saute' 1 large onion, sliced, 1 green and/or red pepper, (optional--I leave it out, but it IS pretty if you use it!) cut into approx 1" pieces and 1 lb of keilbasa or polish sausage in a large skillet until the veggies are cooked through.  Add one 16oz can of pineapple chucks WITH THE JUICE and heat that through.  By this time, the rice should be done.  Put a serving of rice on each plate, spoon the meat/veggie mixture over it, and supper is done!  I usually serve celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese on the side

See, told you it was super fast!

For today's hint:  Ok, I admit, I'm one of those people who likes to clean up while I'm cooking.  If I wash preparation dishes while the food is cooking, then I can eat dinner and not stress over having a messy kitchen to deal with.  For me, it's easier to wash a little bit at a time rather than wait till the meal's over and be facing a stack of nasty stuff!  You have to be in the kitchen watching the food anyway, right?

That's all for today!
