Rice Salad

I got this recipe from my friend, Debra, who got it from her mother-in-law. At the bottom of the recipe, it says that it can be served hot or cold. When I tried this salad, it was cold and it was delish!! Enjoy!

2 cups long grain rice
4 cups water
5-6 chicken bouillon cubes
2 (6oz) jars marinated artichoke hearts, chopped reserving liquid from one jar
3/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
8 green onions, chopped
16 (or more) large green olives, sliced
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. curry powder (optional)

Bring water to a boil and add the bouillon cubes; let them dissolve. Add rice to water, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to rice; mix well. Can serve hot or cold.

German Pancake w/ Vanilla Butter Sauce

I love it when I come across recipe blogs that have good, normal, easy looking recipes on them. I came across this blog yesterday and found some great recipes. Below are two of them:

German Pancake:
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup butter

Beat eggs at medium speed until thick and lemon colored. Add milk, flour and salt. Mix well.
Heat butter in a 9x13 pan until melted. Pour batter over melted butter in pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot with syrup or sauce recipe below.


Vanilla Butter Sauce:
1 stick butter
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla (I added more than the original recipe...which called for 1 tsp.... since I love the taste of vanilla)

Add all ingredients to a sauce pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Freeze leftovers.
