The kids are back in school and things are hectic!
Trying to get back into a “normal” routine takes a few weeks to master. This year my guys are coming home even later than they have in the past. Jake has swimming practice every day after school which has him coming home after 5 pm. Jeb has football practice that runs from 6 – 8 two nights per week. So dinnertime is often rushed between activities or super late. It’s not ideal…but sometimes we are eating around 8:30 at night.
As you can imagine, my menu has to be extremely quick and easy. I am using my slow cooker more often and doing a lot of prep early in the day so I can whip up dinner fast. Convenience is the key to getting my family fed so that we can make this crazy schedule work!
I have lots of frozen veggies that only require a few minutes in the microwave. I also restocked my supply of Veetee Rice so that I simply heat and serve for perfectly cooked rice that is on the table in just minutes. Those shortcuts are my key to keeping my sanity while I get used to this new back-to-school schedule!

I love Thai food so I really want to try the Thai Jasmine rice! The other varieties sound good too!

I would like to try it!
I love a stir-fry over Veetee Wholegrain Brown Rice & Quinoa, it’s easy and healthy.
We love start meals in the crock pot. Just let them cook slow all day then when we get home dinner is ready.
This rice sounds easy to prepare and good to the taste. I want to try it.
I want to try this rice.
This rice is so convenient and it tastes great!

I like to cook meat on the George Foreman and steam veggies in the microwave.
I love that there are no additives or preservatives, and the 12 month shelf life sounds great to me. I would love the opportunity to try these.
I’ve seen this at publix . Would like to try it.

I like to double the recipes when cooking. I freeze one for a quick meal when needed. I use the crockpot alot.
I would love to try this rice
My favorites would be the Jasmine or the Basmati, sure would love to win this
would love to try them!!!
Whoa! I can make a fast stir fry, and it’s usually the rice cooking that slows me down, especially brown rice. This is a fantastic shortcut!
Brown rice is perfect to stock up for storms prep
We like to buy the big bags of shrimp from Publix to get dinner done fast.
I actually bought the VeeTee rice when it was a BOGO. Delicious and easy side dish with fish or chicken. I also use frozen veggies to get dinner on the table quickly.
Would love to give these my daughter
Haven’t tried but would love to try the Jasmin rice.
I like to make rice, quinoa, farro and pasta ahead of time to use during the week for salads or dinners. The Veetee rice makes it easy to use for quick dinners and it’s good!
We make meals easier and faster by preparing it in advance. It is also easier having precooked parts of meal.
The crockpot is a lifesaver! I have added an Instant Pot to my Christmas list too. I hear fabulous things about them.
Looks pretty good. I will give it a try.
I cook ahead on the weekend. During the week when everyone is busy, I just heat up dinner and serve it. It’s already prepared.
cook enough food to make leftovers
I’ve never tried this product, so it would be interesting to try it out.
I love all kinds of rice! I would love to try these varieties as well…
I have never tried these, would love to! Saving time is so important during the school year!
This rice helps get supper on table quick!
I haven’t tried this product yet, but love to prep ahead for quick and healthy meals. The brown rice would be great to have on hand.
Mix them with some beans and you have a complete meal!
Perfect to leave in your locker with a can of soup
My husband is now into Jasmine rice so it would be good to try
I try to get all the prep done in the morning, this way it’s all ready to go at dinnertime.
This is good rice – so quick. Basmati is our favorite.
I like quick ready to heat up dinners or sides during the week when the time is like a gold!
Using components that are already prepared make a meal come together in a snap. I use the micorwave to help cook dinner in a hurry.
I also like having frozen vegetables in the freezer it makes a super quick side and also a rotisserie chicken is always convenient for an easy protein.
I’m not entering then contest but I wanted to say that I won the last time and this rice is Awesome! We love it. Thanks again!!
When I make Chilie I need rice on the side. This is just perfect.
Keeping fresh veggies on hand always helps me throw together a quick dinner:)
I love Basmati.
plan ahead so you dont have to go shopping as much. also make sure to repurpose leftovers so they are still interesting
Sounds easy enough, even I probably couldn’t mess it up. Sounds tasty too.
I start my meal prep in the morning and then refrigerate. Once its time to start cooking I’ve already shaved off at least 20 minutes of work.
Making as many things ahead of time as possible is the key.
I picked up a few of the Veetee Rice last time it was on sale. I LOVE that it has a long shelf life!
Use pre-washed salad greens and microwaveable main dish items.
Meal planning is a must and cooking a larger portion (chicken/ground beef for example) at one time to use in several meals during the week.
I use a crockpot to have dinner ready when I walk in the door.
I try to pick easy meals when i know i will be working late and not have a lot of time to get the food on the table. Also, i try to have as much prepped or ready to start when I get home.
I would be so excited to win
The basmati rice one is delicious
The crockpot is a huge help in getting dinner ready fast
The brown rice would go great with grilled chicken
I prep early and store for later
With my husband taking care of me during my current illness, this sounds like a big help for dinner.
I make a big salad at the beginning of the week making it easy to get fresh vegetables with every dinner.
Have never tried. Would love too.
I like to have some make ahead freezer meals for busy nights. If needed I make rice in my rice cooker or a salad.
We southerners love our rice..maybe more than most and more than potatoes.
Especially, my mom. Me too.
Rice is pretty easy enough too cook..microwave would be faster for those crazy nights.
A tip..I make a lot at a time..easy to reheat later in the week for another meal or for breakfast..Freezable too..therefore, easy enough to pop out of the freezer when busy.
Hope to share with family and mom..all Flavors sound great.
Thanks
I always keep frozen, chopped veggies in the freezer so I can grab what I need.
A perfect side dish for most meal planning.
