The kids are going back to school which means many of us will be struggling to adapt to a new schedule. Trying to get back into a "normal" routine may take a few weeks to master.
We get home late almost every single weeknight once again this year. Jeb has football practice that runs from 6 - 8 at least two nights per week. The other nights are filled with tutoring which gets us home around 7. Jake's swim practice ends earlier...but I still have to find time to pick him up. As you'd imagine, dinnertime is often rushed between activities or takes place super late. While not ideal...sometimes we are eating around 8:30 at night.
For the late meals, my menu has to be extremely quick and easy. Those nights, I use my slow cooker or prep early in the day so I can whip up dinner fast. Convenience is the key to getting my family fed so that we can make this crazy schedule work!
I always have plenty of frozen veggies on hand and I recently restocked my supply of Veetee Rice. It's my favorite shortcut for a simple side that I just heat and serve for perfectly cooked rice that I can have on the table in just minutes. I pull out all my tricks in order to keep my sanity while I get used to this new back-to-school schedule!

Love this rice and would love to win!
This rice is so quick and easy. Of course, I love plain rice, but if I want something different for my family, I can whip up fried rice with leftover meat in no time.
I use 1 trays of Veetee Rice with 1 box Inovasion because there is always extra sauce and it works out perfect for 2 servings. Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
Would love to try it! We can have rice for every meal of the day!
I love the suggestion to use with Innovasian, because making the rice is my least favorite part!
How great it would be to have trays of rice for those days when I don’t get home from work late and need dinner fast! Thanks for this chance to win!
I’ve never tried this but would love the opportunity!
We have rice nearly every night and I sure would love to win these!
I love my crockpot for busy weeknights. I can prep the night before and let it cook during the day. I can quickly heat up the rice just before serving.
would love to win!!!!
Having easy to prepare staples, like Veetee Rice, on hand helps to make dinner preparation easier as well as providing a balanced meal for my family to enjoy!
This would be an awesome gift for a college student. Easy and quick food.
Oooh, haven’t heard of this before but I’m excited to try it!
Love the quality of taste in this rice!!
make a stir fry with frozen veggies and rice. Cut meat into small pieces so it cooks fast.
I like to use a mix of prepped items that I make on the weekend and freeze and thaw, with items that are quick that I can add to the meal
My tips: food prep on Sunday, one pan meals, and frozen items like wontons, French fries, and vegetables
My daughter loves this rice!
Use this rice all the time
I’ve never tried this rice before, but I can see how it would be amazing to use to help get dinner on the table quicker.
pre prep, cut , and freeze meat into smaller pieces – they’re quick to thaw and quick to cook
I am excited to try these.
i’m all about the slow cooker to get dinner done fast! keeps me from stopping at drive thrus on the way home too. I’d do slow cooker pepper steak and put it over this rice
Vee Tee rice is quick, easy, convienent and delicious
I like doing a lot of stir fry with veggies and meat that I need to use up. It’s a very quick meal!
