I call this “fried rice” because it is made using leftover rice rather than making it “risotto style” starting with uncooked rice grains. I find that making it by cooking rice in a tomato liquid makes the dish more risotto like and too starchy and wet for my liking. This method using leftover rice is perfect – it really is restaurant style. This is a great throw together mid week meal that you can make with Mexican-related leftovers....

Because in the entire 4 nights / 5 days we were there, we only went out for ONE MEAL....
I love Poppyseed Salad Dressing! It is so much more than just a dressing with poppyseed added to it. The poppyseed add a nuttiness and aroma, taking an otherwise ordinary dressing to new heights. I’ve pretty much consistently had a bottle of Poppyseed Salad Dressing in my fridge for the last 3 weeks from when I started to plan to share my Strawberry Salad. I ended up choosing to use Strawberry Balsamic Dressing with that salad, but I was really tossing up between that and this Poppyseed Salad Dressing!...

To my delight (and utmost relief), she was so impressed that she even asked for the recipe!...
