This recipe was selected for multiple reasons:
1. My cousin came to visit from Idaho. She came for Sunday dinner and I wanted to
have something special, because we don’t get to see each other that often
anymore. She has a wheat allergy and I
wanted to make an entire meal that she could eat- Even though her husband and
mine wanted wheat bread.
2. I found out last week thanks to Janice Person that September
is Rice Month. I almost missed it and
didn’t even know it.
3. I wanted a place to link all the good links that I read
about rice after last week’s Consumer Report about the arsenic levels in rice.
4. The National Beef Ambassador Competition is being held in
California this weekend. Way back in
1991, I competed in this competition (I place 3rd). The competition has changed over the years
and so has the responsibilities of the top 5.
The kids competing in this competition know more about nutrition and
using beef in a healthy diet than most adults I know (and maybe some
nutritionists). My recipe for the competition was Italian Beef Roll. This recipe was in the
cookbook compiled from those of us competing back in 1991. I hope you enjoy it!

DeleteI was just thinking about a meatball recipe that my mom makes with rice. This sounds fantastic! Dinner this weekend! Allison Bunck
ReplyDeleteHi Allison! So glad I could help you with your weekend menu. Glad you are enjoying my blog. Have a great weekend and I hope the guys are having a safe and productive harvest.
DeleteNever thought to add rice to a meatball mixture! Sounds good! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday! Please come back on Sunday to VOTE!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually an old family recipe, but no one ever had a recipe. It was always a hand full of rice and this spice or that one depending on your tastes. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI have not had procupine meatballs in such a long time! I will have to have them again. I used to live in Arkansas, in the middle of rice country! I am going to sound dumb, but I always thought all of our rice came from overseas! I loved living there and being involved in 4-H and with all the farmers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your recipe on Foodie Friends Friday!
Actually, Arkansas produces about 50 percent of the rice grown in the United States! I usually buy Riceland brand rice just because I know farmers that grow for them. Glad I could provide a recipe sparked memories for you. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI taught this type of recipe to my Supercupboard class (nutritious meals on a budget for low-income families)this is a great version!
