So I love Publix. I know I have mentioned this before. I could change my blog’s name to the "I love Publix" blog and I would feel completely OK with that. I discovered about three weeks ago that unbeknownst to me, at some point in the past few months, this blessed chain opened a store in Brentwood, a mere 14 miles from my house.
I haven’t yet counted the grocery stores I drive past to get to the Publix (substantial number, I feel sure), but I am not feeling bad about that.
So strolling through the Publix the other day, I discovered this great little product from the Lundberg rice folks. If you haven’t ponied up for Lundberg rice yet, please do. It is worth every penny. And the Lundberg Jubilee rice is so pretty that I described it to my sister as looking like "a party in a bag." At which point she says we have different understandings of the word party.
Nonetheless, I determined that we must do something special with this beautiful rice. So we found this awesome recipe from Crescent Dragonwagon’s Passionate Vegetarian cookbook…combined brown rice, mushrooms, corn, carrots, onions, garlic, sundried tomatoes and her dragon salt. You bake in the oven. Wow!!! We’ve decided that, all due respect to CD, we’ll probably unfortunately end up calling this dish "party in a bag" forever.

I am Crescent Dragonwagon’s number one fan — her Soup and Bread is in my Top 5 cookbooks, and her Dairy hollow House cookbook is probably in my Top 20. Don’t own Passionate Vegetarian (yet) but I see recipes for it on Recipezaar all the time. And this one sounds like a winner.
