There are so many ways to fix rice. Almost as many as there are for potatoes. Here is an opportunity to use some of those zucchini lounging in your fridge. It's a great dish to do in the wintertime as well. Buy one zucchini at Food City and get cooking.

ZUCCHINI-RICE PILAF
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/4 cups hot water
1 1/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 cup uncooked rice
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 small zucchini, halved and thinly sliced

Quickly saute dried basil in butter in large deep skillet over medium heat until hot but not browned. Stir in water and bouillon granules. Bring to a boil. Add raw rice and carrots. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in zucchini slices. Cover and simmer 5 minutes longer or until rice is tender.
