Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

One Pot Cheesy Broccoli Rice

This is a super good little side dish that goes with just about anything. I love that it's a one-pot-wonder, too! It's always nice to have recipes like this in your files that you can pull out at a moment's notice, right? You can also add some diced cooked chicken to this to make it a meal. How yummy would that be?

One Pot Cheesy Broccoli Rice



1 small onion ~ diced
1 clove garlic ~ minced
4 tablespoons butter ~ divided use
1 cup long grain rice
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pan, saute the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of the butter...about 3 minutes.

Add the rice to the pot then pour in the chicken broth and cook according to package directions.

Stir in cheeses, the rest of the butter and salt and pepper.

Stir in the broccoli until combined.

Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving so broccoli can soften a bit.

The stuff!
