Happy Cinco de Mayo. Because it is a Mexican holiday, we are celebrating with taco night. My kiddos love taco night, but I really think it is because of the rice, not the tacos. I make this really yummy red rice that is packed with flavor and is super easy and fast to make, it is always a favorite. I recently took it to a Mexican fiesta party at my son's class and all the kids were happy about the red rice. I heard about it for days from all the moms. Let's face it, it isn't easy to please an entire room of 7-year-olds, but I think this rice came close to pleasing everyone. I think this rice has made me a people pleaser.
