Red Pepper Rice

OK I am all about easy recipes to get the site kicked off.  Here is my recipe for Red Pepper Rice.  Now I love to eat rice, but I was never able to cook it well until I got a rice cooker.  In this recipe I am going to use a rice cooker but you could certainly make it the traditional way with on your stove top with a pot.  If you like to eat rice but have never been good at making it, I would highly recommend purchasing a rice cooker. It will make your life easier.

• 4 cups of water

OK once the rice cooker has finished the lights will switch to warm.  Just wait about 5 minutes and you rice is ready to serve.  Perfect every time.

I made this rice with my Baked Tilapia.  I think they complement each other very well.

Enjoy!
