Perfect Pressure Cooker Brown Rice...

4 cups water
2 cups brown rice (not instant)
3 bouillon cubes (I use Knorr, 2 cups each cube)
3 dashes of Mrs. Dash (any flavor will work)
3 Table butter (not margarine)
Pepper (1/4 teaspoon is plenty)

Add all ingredients to pressure cooker. No need to stir. Set timer for 22 minutes. Let it go. Let it depressurize on its own.

If you don't have an electric one, a stove top one works too.

Enjoy :)

Lil hen here....summertime in Texas is brutal. So I made us some triple berry lemonade slushies.

2 cups ice, 2 cups frozen triple berries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice (bottled) and about 1/2 water. Place all ingredients (except water, add as needed) in a blender and blend till pureed. It made 3 8oz servings.

Lil Hen here:) I prefer to make my own seasoning mixes so I know what goes into them. I've been asked to post my homemade taco seasoning recipe. So here goes.. this is a bulk recipe y'all!!!

16 Tablespoons (1cup) chili powder
8 Tablespoons (1/2 cup) ground cumin
16 teaspoons (1/3 cup) garlic powder
16 teaspoons (1/3 cup) onion powder
16 teaspoons (1/3 cup) paprika
4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons black pepper
8 teaspoons oregano
4 teaspoons chili flakes

Mix it all together and pulse it in a food processor or blender till it's all blended and uniform in consistency. Store in a sealable container or mason jar. (I have quart size jar I store mine in).

For 1 # of ground meat: combine 1/4 cup taco seasoning with 2)3 cup water and add to your meat after you've browned it. Let simmer about 15 minutes covered.

Let me know if y'all like it:)
