Back To School Made Easy With Veetee Rice – One Reader Wins FREE Rice!

By 77 Comments

This post is sponsored by Veetee Rice. All comments and opinions are my own.

The kids are going back to school which means many of us will be struggling to adapt to a new schedule. Trying to get back into a "normal" routine may take a few weeks to master.

We get home late almost every single weeknight once again this year.  Jeb has football practice that runs from 6 - 8 at least two nights per week. The other nights are filled with tutoring which gets us home around 7. Jake's swim practice ends earlier...but I still have to find time to pick him up. As you'd imagine, dinnertime is often rushed between activities or takes place super late. While not ideal...sometimes we are eating around 8:30 at night.

For the late meals, my menu has to be extremely quick and easy. Those nights, I use my slow cooker or prep early in the day so I can whip up dinner fast. Convenience is the key to getting my family fed so that we can make this crazy schedule work!

I always have plenty of frozen veggies on hand and I recently restocked my supply of Veetee Rice. It's my favorite shortcut for a simple side that I just heat and serve for perfectly cooked rice that I can have on the table in just minutes. I pull out all my tricks in order to keep my sanity while I get used to this new back-to-school schedule!

I thought you might like a little help with your dinner routine too! The folks at Veetee are giving one iHeartPublix reader some FREE rice to help you serve up great taste without a ton of effort!

  • One winner will receive 15 FREE trays of Veetee Rice*

Remember, Veetee Rice comes in a convenient tray that's transparent so you can actually see the rice. That means you can see the quality of the rice before you even open the tray!

With a shelf life of 12 months you can stock up and have a quick and easy meal starter that's ready when you need it. Veetee Rice is ready in just two minutes from the microwave so it's ready whenever you need it.

You'll find several tasty varieties at Publix to help you put a delicious meal on the table FAST!

I found a great deal on one of my favorite dinner shortcuts. Look for Veetee Rice on sale right now at Publix. All the different varieties are priced at 3/$4 so you can stock up and enjoy an incredibly convenient rice that's ready from the microwave in just 2 minutes.

I have a rice cooker and have no problem cooking rice on the stove but there are nights when I just don't have time to wait for it to cook. Plus I often need pre-cooked rice for a recipe and certainly don't want to deal with and additional 20+ minutes in the kitchen cooking rice BEFORE I even start my recipe!

So when I see a sale on Veetee Rice, I stock up! It has a shelf life of 12 months...not that it would ever last that long at my house.

It tastes great and comes out of the microwave with the perfect texture every.single.time! It has no additives or preservatives and is sodium free, cholesterol free and gluten free. Each tray is just nutritious rice that you heat and eat or use in your favorite recipe.

Stop by the rice/pasta aisle and take advantage of the sale. I promise when a night rolls around and you need rice in a flash, you will be so thankful to pull out that tray of Veetee Rice. It has saved my sanity on more than one occasion!

Leftover Turkey & Rice SoupI get to enjoy a couple of holiday dinners this week...one with my family and one with my husband's family. My family's Thanksgiving was this past Sunday. My mom, my aunt and I started cooking early and had a tasty feast whipped up by lunchtime.

I really don't mind spending the time cooking when the end result is a big table of happy faces! Of course we typically cook way too much food and end up with lots of leftovers. Now that doesn't make me unhappy at all...I actually look forward to those leftovers! I'll send some of it home with my family and the rest will be meals for several days afterward.

One of my absolute favorite things to make with the extras is a big pot of Leftover Turkey & Rice Soup. It's super simple to make and tastes amazing. Don't tell anyone but I might actually like my soup better than just the plain turkey!

Veetee Rice – Delicious & Convenient For Your Hectic Schedule (+ One Reader Wins FREE Rice!)

The kids are back in school and things are hectic!

Trying to get back into a "normal" routine takes a few weeks to master. This year my guys are coming home even later than they have in the past. Jake has swimming practice every day after school which has him coming home after 5 pm. Jeb has football practice that runs from 6 - 8 two nights per week. So dinnertime is often rushed between activities or super late. It's not ideal...but sometimes we are eating around 8:30 at night.

As you can imagine, my menu has to be extremely quick and easy. I am using my slow cooker more often and doing a lot of prep early in the day so I can whip up dinner fast. Convenience is the key to getting my family fed so that we can make this crazy schedule work!

I also restocked my supply of Veetee Rice so that I simply heat and serve for perfectly cooked rice that is on the table in just minutes.

Choose Veetee Rice For Your Busy Schedule + One Reader Wins Two 6-Packs Of Rice!

By 69 Comments

This post is sponsored by Veetee. All comments and opinions are my own.

I am not sure why they call it summer break as I seem to be busier during the summer than I am during the school year. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the nice weather makes us want to get out of the house more often. No reason to be stuck in the house when we can be out enjoying the season.

I find that when it comes to cooking, I aim to get in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible too. I have found tricks to serving up a tasty dinner that reduces my prep/cook time dramatically!

Since we are often already outside, I will have my husband fire up the grill and we'll enjoy a meal out on the patio. This helps keep my house cool since I am not using the oven and an added bonus is that my kitchen stays nice and clean. When it comes to the side dishes, I'll often have my husband add veggies to the grill with the meats. Sometimes I'll just serve up a simple salad and then other times I take advantage of time savers like Veetee Rice. My family gets a great meal and there's little to no cleanup which comes in pretty handy on a busy summer night.

I have some great news...the folks at Veetee are going to give on iHeartPublix reader some FREE rice to help you serve up great taste without a ton of effort!
