Yellow Rice with Sweet Peas

I am hooked on salads and my daughter is hooked on rice! If you haven’t realized as of late, I cook a lot of rice.

Rice is a daily staple in my house which means I am always looking for ways to make my rice flavorful.

My daughter loves her rice yellow, every since she watched me turn the broth bright yellow with the addition of turmeric, she wants her rice yellow everyday.

I was informed by my little food critic that white rice is boring, and our food needs vibrant colors, lol.

I will admit this is a very simple dish, I added peas because my daughter loves peas and it’s green for that extra vibrant color the little girl requested.

Enjoy!
