Influenced By myLot

It's one thing we talk about so often here on myLot. Food. What we eat. What we make to eat. I can't tell you how many ideas I have gotten for something to make based on something another myLotter posted about what they made for dinner, lunch, a side, or whatever else. Take this side. It was suggested by a myLotter, although I took my own liberties in deciding how I would make it. Rice with butter and Parmesan. I cooked my rice like I normally would, but added some butter to the water. I then added in 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese before I closed the lid and let it "soften." I think it will be delicious, and it was all based on something another myLotter suggested. How many times have you made something based on a post you read, and what did you make? How did it turn out?

@porwest One cup of raw rice is a good portion. That rice even as a name in Italy "risotto alla Parmigiana".

@LadyDuck I was sure it was not an original idea. Come to think of it, it's so simple an idea I am not sure why it never even naturally came to mind that I only thought of it when someone else mentioned it. lol

It was delicious. Definitely something I will be making again for sure. I used one cup of raw rice.

That sounds delicious. I have not tried eating rice with butter and Parmesan. Often times I got ideas from Mylot on what to cook. They all turned out well. Unfortunately, I forgot at the moment what I was cooking.

This one turned out to be a definite do over. It was really good. But we have a lot of great cooks on here and there's never a day that goes by I don't get an inspiration. I may not make it right away, but it definitely makes my list.

@avi256 Rice is one of my favorite sides and things to use in other dishes. I like pasta too. But I like rice better.

That looks good and now you, through another mylotter, have given me a new thought for a new side in the future.

Yes, I have gotten and made my version of different foods from time to time from here.

I haven't seen anything that was suggested that I'd like to try cause I have to be careful what I eat so I just stick to what I KNOW I can eat just to be safe.

That is completely understandable. Luckily, I am not in that position, so anything that looks good can still make it to my mouth. lol

@porwest I don't understand how after a year I can cook most foods okay, but why are all the desserts I cook awful? I'm planning to try a new recipe for cream cheese orange cookies soon, so we'll see.

When I saw the picture I thought you were going to say you made rice pudding (which I just made a couple of days ago, though I didn't mention it on myLot!)

I am not sure if I am a fan of rice pudding, personally. So I definitely did not make that. lol

Yes, I've been influenced by some dishes people make here. The mere mention of food will bring a mouth-watering delight and a trip to the fridge and cupboards to see if I have the ingredients to make said food. I have all the ingredients on hand for your rice dish. I just might try it.

It is really good rice, and I wish I could remember who gave me the idea. In any event, I am glad they did, and I will definitely be doing this side dish again, for sure.

@porwest I am glad you have gotten ideas here from people on what to make. I only make things that are kosher so look up a recipe I want to make to see what ingredients to use only if it is kosher. Some things I have made have turned out and others have not.

One thing everyone enjoys is food. After all, we gotta eat. And finding a new recipe to add to one's weekly meal plans. And when I taste a good recipe, I'm happier than I've ever "bean."

It turned out to be a really good idea. I wish I could remember who mentioned it so I could thank them, but I am drawing a complete blank. It may have even been one of the old posts I visited. Just can't remember and it wasn't even that long ago. Damn aging brain. lol

Your food looks nice, much more tasty than boring plain rice. I often get food ideas from people on myLot. The problem I find is that we all come from different parts of the world and I cannot always get the ingredients that they have used in their recipe.

Yeah, that can sometimes be an issue. Of course, here in the U.S. you can get practically anything. I like to make Spanish rice a lot. Just a real simple version of it. Boil some salsa with rice and voila. Could that be poor man's Spanish rice? lol
