Surviving Crazy September Schedules with Minute® Ready to Serve Rice

We all know how busy the fall season can be and I like to eat healthy but as easily as possible. I have two super active little ones so meal time is often SUPER interesting around my house. We run to soccer and other activities every week so I like QUICK!! That's why I love Minute® Ready to Serve Rice. It is so quick, easy and portable.

September often means a change in schedules for many families. Back-to-school season is in full swing; we’re starting to see fall-inspired flavors everywhere and thinking about food that will keep us satisfied in the cooler weather. Fall officially kicks off in September and so does the celebration of a mainstay for so many families with National Rice Month, which celebrates the rice harvest and honors the contribution of the U.S. rice industry to America’s economy.

Rice is an easy family staple that makes meal planning and prep easy for everyone, especially with products on hand like Minute® Ready to Service Rice since it’s ready in just 60 seconds. Plus, rice is versatile.
