Rice Globs

Rice Globs

Rice itself needs to be doctored up to taste good the first time, let alone eating leftovers.  Here’s an idea to use up leftover rice and they won’t even know it’s made out of leftovers.

3 cups leftover cooked rice (I used 1 cup white and 2 cups fried)

1 large egg, well beaten

¼ cup margarine (softened)

¼ cup parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp dried chopped onion

Preheat oven to 350°.

Mix all ingredients together in large bowl.  (Note:  if you are using plain white rice add in 1/2 cup chopped deli meat, green peppers, onions, or bacon bits or a combination.)  Roll into balls or use small ice cream scoop and place on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake 30 minutes until firm.  Serve with duck sauce, ketchup or marinara sauce.

Cereal Muffins

Fiber One Marmalade Muffins

“There’s no fiber in this, it tastes too good.”

1½ cups flour

1 cup quick cooking oats

¼ cup brown sugar

1½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

2 eggs, slightly beaten  

¾ cup milk

¾ cup orange marmalade

¼ cup finely chopped pears

½ cup crushed Fiber One cereal (I suppose any cereal will work)

2 tbsp vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 400°.  Lightly grease muffin pan, or spray with cooking oil.

In medium bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Combine eggs, milk, marmalade and vegetable oil and pour all at once in the center of the dry ingredients.  Mix just until moistened.  Batter will be lumpy.  Fold in pears.

Spoon into muffin tins; I use a large ice cream scoop to make all tins consistent.  Sprinkle cereal over top of each muffin and bake 15-18 minutes or until golden.  Cool on wire rack 5 minutes and remove from tins.
