Additional comments:

Found this to be much better reheated. Threw in some chicken and tofu I had left over and it was delicious!

I made this last night. I threw in a handful of fresh basil leaves and served with whole wheat linguini and grilled chicken. Delicious!

I made a version of this last night and stirred it into whole wheat couscous. No nuts, but my DD (2) loved it!

The other day I made this with some mint pesto and my son ate it! Stirred in a beaten egg to the cooked rice over medium heat – for extra protein. Super fast food was delish.
