I am thrilled to be a StirMaker for the #CreateAStir campaign sponsored by Della Rice. To be properly armed and ready to make a tasty Stir, I received an Aroma rice cooker for hassle-free cooking ( you have an opportunity to win your own rice cooker) and many flavors of Della Rice. So, what’s a Stir? A Stir is a dinner creation (think about your favorite rice bowl). The canvas (or bottom of the bowl) consists of delicious Della rice, and the toppings can include a variety of proteins, vegetables, and sauces. You pick. You decide. … [Read more...]
