Hi there “Or So She Says…” Readers! I’m Kristyn and I blog over at Lil’ Luna. Come check it out for fun, cute and easy recipes, tutorials and crafts!

Today, I’m going to show you how to make SPANISH RICE! There’s just something so good about rice and getting it with some beans, some enchiladas, and tacos, and kinda just mixing it all up and eating it.  That might sound gross to you, but I promise – IT IS NOT!

Spanish rice is the perfect side for any Mexican meal you make at home! orsoshesays.com #recipe #mexicanrecipes #spanishrice #rice
Something you would never guess about me is…I’m 1/2 Mexican!
It’s true… even if I’m SUPER WHITE!!Although I’m pretty darn white, I can still cook some AMAZING Mexican Food, and that’s because I have wonderful teachers like my MOM and AUNTS. TODAY, I’d like to introduce you to my mudda, Liv (and my dad – hence the whiteness).
Ain’t she pretty? (She’s gonna KILL me for putting a pic of her on here, but oh well) 😀 Liv is gonna show us how to make the best and easiest Spanish Rice. It’s actually the recipe of a popular Mexican Restaurant in Mesa called Mango’s (down on Main). If you’ve ever been down there and liked their rice, here’s their recipe. 🙂
