Wild Rice with Farm Fresh Veggies

Community Supported Agriculture - What do we do with such beautiful veggies, but we're in a rush? Short cut time...

I made this dish a few weeks ago... Wednesday nights we take a look at what veggies are left from the week because we get a new delivery on Thursdays. So, to make room for the new stuff, Wednesday night is "get creative night."
With school closing in and a classroom to prepare, I needed a short cut.

Wild Rice with Farm Fresh Veggies 

2 boxes Rice-A-Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice

2 yellow squash

2 green peppers

1 pint cherry tomatoes

Follow the directions on the box and start the water boiling. While your waiting, slice the squash and dice the peppers into big chunks. When the water boils, and the squash and the peppers in with the rice and flavor packets. About two minutes or so before the rice is done, add the cherry tomatoes. They won't burst, but they will be piping hot when the rice mixture is done.

Probably next time, I'll hold the green peppers out until the last minute too - they lost their bright green color. The rice will probably cook longer than it says on the box because of the added moisture from the veggies.

Serve with a great steak from Dodge City beef http://www.dodgecitybeef.com/ and farm fresh corn. Delicious!
