Old Family Favorite with Some New Twists

I really enjoy cooking but have since kind of let it go in favor of exercise so I don't spend as much time as I used to on it but still try to make at least 2(if my schedule allows) meals a day. And I love to try new things!

The meal I made last night is a take on a recipe my Mom makes quite a bit.

i use Uncle Ben's rice. Mmm good stuff. 

follow the directions as indicated on the box..(and no I'm not great at following directions but I made myself here - rice is tricky enough!)

this is the pan for the veggies. I put in some Olive Oil

then added the veggies - canned green beans, peppers, onions, fresh garlic, carrots and i added fish to the mix also. But you can add pretty much whatever you want here. 


everything coming together - then after about 10mins or so I added Greek yogurt and spices to make it a more complex taste. 


the rice ready and somewhat strained I combined everything and let it sit for another 20 minutes.

and done! Yummo. Not exactly like my Mom's but simply delicious!
