Cinnamon Spiced Rice Recipe Video
So for the first QuickBite of the New Year I thought I'd share a really interesting side dish that's a hit everytime I make it....Cinnamon Spiced Rice.
Now, I know cinnamon and rice don't sound like your conventional combination at first but trust me when I tell you, it's delicious! The flavors work really well together and it's a nice change of pace.
I like serving this right along with my Okra Bowl.
