I’m trying to make it a priority to eat healthier in our home. Sometimes that can be hard to do when you’re feeding picky eaters though.

Since we’re big snackers, I’m starting there, replacing chips and cookies with more wholesome options.

Triscuits provide that satisfying crunch and savoriness of a potato chip, and the new Triscuit Real Foods lineup are made with 100% whole grain brown rice and wheat, and are flavored with natural ingredients like roasted sweet onion, red beans and sweet potatoes.

After trying them out the Roasted Sweet Onion flavor was a huge hit around here.

So I took a tip from Triscuit Real Foods and headed to my kitchen to make a side dish inspired by the ingredients and colors on the box.

This brown rice dish was gobbled up (much like the Triscuits themselves)…and the leftovers were even tasty cold.
