Spanish Rice

2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
2 tbsp. chicken bouillon
2 cups water
2 cups chunky salsa

1.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Stir in onion, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
2.  Mix rice into skillet, stirring often.  When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken bouillon, water, and salsa.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until liquid has been absorbed.
3.  Add more water, if needed, to prevent sticking or burning.

Featuring: THRIVE Life Tomato Powder

THRIVE tomato powder is one of my favorite THRIVE Life products.  It's very versatile!  Use it for paste, sauce, juice, soup thickener, flavor enhancer--you won't know how you ever lived without it.  I use a couple tablespoons in vegetable beef soup and to make pizza sauce.  I also use it in these recipes:

Stuffed Pepper Casserole
Lasagna in a Pot
Shepherd's Pie
Taco Soup
Tamale Pie in a Skillet
Lasagna Soup in a Jar
Homemade Pizza

Prep:  Add water to Tomato Powder to reach desired consistency for paste, sauce, or juice.

1 c. powder + 2 c. water = 3 c. paste
1 c. powder + 4 c. water = 5 c. sauce
1 c. powder + 6 c. water = 6 c. juice

Tips & More:
*Sprinkle tomato powder into tortillas with some tomato dices for a sun-dried tomato flavor.
*It's easy to sprinkle into soup to add flavor, or mix it with your favorite herbs and use it as a rub for meats!
