Travel Rice

This rice was created on-the-go while we were traveling. We'd get into a hotel room late and be without fresh fruit or vegetables so I had to get creative quick! Thankfully I pre-planned and brought my rice cooker and some other goods. I ended up taking a blend of spices, combined them with rice, lentils and quinoa creating a balanced meal for two. We ended up LOVING the flavorful, feel-good mix and have enjoyed it more than once at home since returning. I'll ask - travel rice? And he'll say yes! When we're home I'll add in garlic and onions for added health and flavor. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
