What’s for dinner tonight? The question of the 4 o’clock hour. It’s easy to fall into a dinner rut – the same tacos, spaghetti, quesadillas, pizza and chicken. Sometimes venturing out into the new and interesting is the last thing from your mind.
Enter sweet and savory coconut rice. Something fresh and different, not to mention easy and delicious. This is the perfect side dish to help get you out of that dinner rut.
It would be fantastic enjoyed with any of these main dishes: Bacon Wrapped Chicken Tenders, Steak & Veggie Kabobs, Baked Tilapia or Grilled Pork Chops w/Lime, Garlic & Cilantro Sauce.

Thank you for linking to Must Try Monday. To be honest, I’ve never even bought coconut milk. Does it give it a nutty, coconut flavor?
Thanks for sharing! My kiddos will love this 🙂
