Yum! Light and delicious! I'm really proud of myself.  I feel like I got all fancy with my cooking but it was super easy.

Vegetable Rice

Ingredients:

• chopped vegetables du jour - I used green onion, zucchini, and broccoli
• white jasmine rice

Directions:

1. Prepare rice as directed.  I added a tablespoon of butter to the water when I put in the rice.
2. While rice is cooking,  heat a skillet with a couple tablespoons of butter.
3. Add vegetables and stir fry until cooked through and still crispy.
4. When rice is finished add to vegetable skillet and combine over low heat.  
5. Add more butter and salt to taste.

5. Baste again for a couple of minutes, until cooked through.
6. Remove fillets to serving dish.
