I love preparing this recipe for an “Unfried” Vegetable Rice after we visit the farm market. Fresh vegetables and brown rice are the simple ingredients that make this dish simple and healthy. 

One of the most important things to me as a mom, is what I feed my children. We shop the farmer’s market, participate in a CSA (Crop Share) in the spring/summer and buy quality meats and seafood.

Trips to the local farm market for our weekly produce and CSA pickup is how I expose my children to locally grown fruits and vegetables, harvested grains as well as local, farm-raised meats. 

Farm time = family time. There’s year-round activities, pick your own fruit, vegetables and flowers, too! For the kids, seasonal activities, hay rides, farm animals and for a treat, farm baked goods and ice cream.  

Best of all, our family dog, Oliver is welcome too. He loves it at the farm – being outdoors, seeing new people and enjoying time with us.

On this particular day he was a bit obsessed with the goats so we needed to keep him out of the way a bit – but he enjoyed the sun and people watching. After shopping the farm market, I decided to make a vegetable “unfried” rice dish loaded with my picks from the farm that day. It’s super easy to make — and keeps everyone satisfied.

I picked up fresh green beans, carrots, broccoli, pepper and scallions to add to my “faux” fried rice.

Making this dish is beyond easy. You’ll need to wash, prep and chop your veggies and then cook your preferred rice – I like to use brown rice.  The ingredients are cooked in a wok or pan with a small amount sesame oil, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. The preparation is more steaming than frying – making it much healthier. 

It’s great for dinner, lunch, leftovers, the school lunch box, whenever — and is a great alternative to takeout.

While we’re enjoying a healthy dinner loaded with our favorite veggies, I’m happy to be able to feed Oliver just as well with Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® DISH  – Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe with Veggies. (It also comes in Beef & Brown Rice Recipe with Veggies, Fruit & Chicken).

I love that this dry dog food is made with real, whole ingredients and Natural Plus Vitamins and Minerals.

 

I like knowing that all of the good stuff below is now in Oliver’s food bowl:

• Real chicken pieces that are slow cooked with a delicious real meat texture and hickory smoke flavor your dog will love.
• Crisp carrots that offer a tasty crunch and are an excellent source of cartenoids, essential vitamins and minerals to help support immune health.
• Garden and Field peas, which are excellent sources of dietary fiber to help support healthy digestion – and are naturally gluten-free.
• Farm Grown Potatoes that are easily digestable alternative to carbohydrates. They’ve been carefully selected as they’re gluten-free and gentle on your dog’s digestive system. 
• Tree-Ripened Apples, a delicious source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and dietary fiber to support healthy digestion. 

Don’t be fooled by the sad eyes – he didn’t like being told to ‘wait’ before digging in! Before, he used to “pick” at his food – now he’s very interested and satisfied by his meals. 

DISH from Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® is made for dogs of all sizes – we were really confident in the brand and quality. Added to that, I love what the brand does to help animals. Oliver was a rescue pup, so it’s important to me to know that Rachael’s personal proceeds go to Rachael’s Rescue, which was created to help shelter pets in need. To date, she has donated over $10MM. This money has gone toward food, medical supplies and treatments for these unfortunate animals. 

It is important to put quality food on the table for my family AND to be able to do the same for Oliver. We love our dog – and we want to keep him happy and healthy. At barely 2, he’s got some growing to do, just like my kids. Keeping his food healthy is just as important as teaching my kids to eat well.
