Broccoli Rice Pilaf

Have you seen the rice blend by Minute Rice, called Multi-Grain Medley? It's a 100% whole grain mixture of brown rice, red rice, wild rice, and quinoa. My family and I really like it, and it cooks in 10 minutes. Score. And this is not a sponsored post. I just really like it.

We enjoyed this pilaf- it goes together quickly and makes a delicious side dish or light lunch.
