I’m on a tomato kick. I haven’t prepared this dish yet, but I’m visualizing so strongly that I can almost smell it. Give it a minute and I’ll be drooling.

We’ve got frozen turkey that was cooked last Sunday. That’s going to make this an easy meal. First comes the rice. It’s a mix, so that’s easy preparation. Then I’ll cut the grape tomatoes in half, sear them, and set them aside. Sautee some onions with salt, pepper, a little garlic, ground thyme, and fresh parsley. Mix the turkey with that to give it more flavor, and then I’ll probably throw in some frozen peas right at the end. I like to keep them firm. Tomatoes and turkey bits will then go into one pot with the Spanish rice, and voila!

I don’t usually like mixes, but yellow rice is one of the exceptions. We normally use basmati rice, which has a great nutty flavor. For this, yellow rice seems more appropriate.

I made more quesadillas for lunch today. I had the mixings already prepared from cooking dinner with April on Friday. Much fun and cheesy goodness. These were spicier by far than what I’ve prepared before, and I like them better this way. I’ve got a Goya hot sauce that’s sweet with a kick. Mom & grandma can’t eat anything as spicy as I like, so I had to save the spice for a time when they’d be eating something else.
