Garlic Jasmine Rice

This recipe is a family favorite. I make it at LEAST once a week. Even my 1 year old loves it…well she likes throwing it at the dog…but that’s neither here nor there.

It’s such an easy side to whip together, especially, on a busy night. Also, it’s a healthy side. There is only one tablespoon of fat and then you have onions, garlic, basil, broth, & rice! You probably have all these ingredients in your pantry right this minute. One of my favorite things about cooking is finding ways to insert lots of flavor into healthy cooking. Baking is my passion, but feeding my family healthy meals is so rewarding.

I hope you and your family enjoy this recipe, too!
