Food: Easy Breezy #1

I tried a couple new "recipes" (they can hardly be called this due to their ease) over my vacation and thought I would share...

Christmas celebration #5 was complete with a mexican feast. I elected to prepare the spanish rice knowing that I had my mom's easy breezy recipe at my disposal. *I bolded the instructions that are crucial

Easy Breezy Spanish Rice:

Brown 2 cups rice in enough oil to cover the bottom of pan. I use basmati rice.
Once rice is golden, (don’t leave the stove or it will burn), add small can (1 cup) of tomato sauce plus 4 cups of water.
Add a handful of sliced baby carrots.
Add 2 tbsp of Spanish Rice Seasoning (Fiesta Brand)
Bring to boil, stirring often.
Lower heat to simmer, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid.
Turn heat off after 20 minutes and let rice stand with cover in place for 3-5 minutes.
Fluff rice and eat.
