When I plan my menu for the week, I can guarantee you that there will be at least one or more meals that include rice. That’s because rice is one of the most versatile foods available. Think about it…there are very few foods that can become a main dish, side dish and even a dessert. Heck, I could probably come up with a hundred or more meals using rice.

It’s also great any time of the day… breakfast, lunch or dinner. Yes…rice for breakfast is amazing. If you haven’t had a breakfast rice bowl or breakfast fried rice, you are really missing out!

Besides being easy to prepare, delicious, and super versatile, rice is also extremely economical. It was one of the foods I depended on back in my college days when money was extremely tight. I could stretch a 79¢ bag of rice for a week or more and still have a delicious meal every single night.

I may have a little more money in my wallet now. But, I still look to rice to help me keep my food budget as low as possible.

Picadillo is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries and the Philippines that is similar to hash. There are many different varieties of this classic meat and potato dish. Often you will find raisins or olives added. I happen to love mine with a handful of salty green olives. But, my guys aren’t as keen on olives so I am sharing a basic recipe that was given to me years ago by a dear friend. If you are an olive fan…go ahead and throw them in before serving.

Served over a big helping of Mahatma rice, Picadillo is a perfect weeknight meal that your whole family will love.

  1. The rice is on sale and today Wednesday is the last day. It is $2.99 for a 5 pound bag which is a great deal after the coupon. However, I noticed that my daughter got to use the coupon 2 times.

  3. The SPCA of Polk County FL has White rice on their Amazon wish list if anyone wants to drop one off. They are trying to take the county no kill by 2025 and to rescue all the kittens from the highest Kill County in the State of Florida. They are full of kittens and are asking for donations of Kitten Food.

  4. Did the coupon go in the app again? I already used it when it was on sale. I love this rice and if it goes in the app again I will get it. I don’t see it in my app or my daughters app again, so it must be the original time it came out last month I am thinking. I would get Jasmine rice this time. I love Jasmine rice and when I cook it, the whole house smells of it. I make Chinese fried rice with it as it is VERY easy.
