During the holidays, much of the emphasis is on the food and meals that are served.
And why not, food unites us. One of the easiest ways to catch up with those you hold near and dear is to invite them to the table! Friends and family gather from near and far every year to enjoy a tasty meal and good company. Of course the meal is just the excuse to get together. Spending time together is really what the season is about… but hey, good food doesn’t hurt!
When it comes to my holiday menu, I want it to be a memorable experience for my guests. There’s no room for basic and bland at my table, I want dishes that explode with flavor and bring some excitement to the meal. I look to RiceSelect® products to help me bring amazing flavor to my table!

Sure you could serve up a basic pecan pie this holiday. Or you could shake things up and bring amazing flavor and texture to your dessert with my Pecan Pie Rice Pudding Cake instead.
A pairing of that classic rice pudding flavor with the rich caramel pecan topping is truly amazing. There’s absolutely nothing ordinary about this dessert. It’s ideal for your holiday gathering and may even take the place of your usual pecan pie at all your holiday get togethers.
