Green Bean & Wild Rice Stir Fry

Do you have a picky eater in your home?  I’m pretty sure every home has one.  In fact I was the picky eater of our family when I was little.  I was pretty picky.  I remember I didn’t really like condiments.  Everything needed to be dry.  I even used to take a napkin and wipe the catsup off my hamburger at McDonalds!  Thank goodness I grew out of that stage!  Now I’ll eat just about anything…with a few exceptions.

My daughter is the pickiest one in the house now, but nothing like I used to be, thankfully. She will at least eat what we’re having even if she really isn’t into it.  She’s a bit of a carboholic and likes the white version of things.  White rice, white bread, white pasta.  Now that she is getting older and maturing, eating a more healthful diet has become more important to her so I’ve been trying some different whole grain, non-white foods.

I made some wild rice a few weeks ago in place of white and while my son and I really enjoyed it, however, it was a bit of a stretch for my daughter’s taste.  I decided to try to make a stir fry with some of the flavors I know she enjoys, added some green beans and guess what?!  She loved it and went in for seconds!

We enjoyed this tasty healthy side dish along with Lemon & Rosemary Roasted Chicken Thighs that I shared the recipe for earlier this week and Strawberry Spinach Salad {with Honey Poppy Seed Dressing} that I shared last week.

I always love to hear those magic words, “This is delicious Mom!”  but they sound even better knowing that what they think is so delicious is also healthy!

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Prepared wild rice according to package directions I used 1 cup dry wild rice

  • 2 Cloves Garlic ,chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add blanched green beans and sautee for 2-3 minutes. Add almonds and garlic and sautee for 1 minute. Add wild rice and mix everything together. Continue until rice is heated through.
  • **Wild rice takes about 45 minutes to make so sometimes I like to make the rice the day before and refrigerate until I'm ready to use it.
