• French Onion Rice is an easy recipe combining basmati rice with beef bouillon and onion soup mix. It's the perfect side to roasted chicken or just go ahead and eat it by itself, it's that good. Take it from this self-proclaimed rice hater, this rice is perfection, so good in fact, I've made it multiple times with week.

    French Onion Rice

    I can honestly say, I've never truly been a fan of rice. It's just never been my thing. I truly believe it's from overuse, you see, my mom loved rice, or maybe it was my Dad and she was cooking it for him. But, after years of rice at least once a week, I'm over it. That was until, I added a package of onion soup mix to my rice. And like that French Onion Rice was born and I'm a huge fan.

    I am a huge fan of greek food. I want it all, souvlaki, pita bread, lemon potatoes, dolmades, and feta cheese. Oh and spanakopita, I could live on that flaky cheese pie, alone. Don't even get me started on the desserts. Let's just say, it's one of the most flavour-packed types of cuisine out there. Years ago, I bought a greek dressing mix from Epicure and I used it on everything. Then I ran out, had to come up with my own Homemade Greek Seasoning and I'd put my seasoning up against Epicure's any day!

    Do you clean your fridge out before a trip and then come home to bare cupboards? Me too! We just got back from a trip to Canada.
