Featured Recipe: Guatemalan-Style Rice
This rice pilaf is inspired by a Guatemalan recipe that my girls ate daily when they visited Antigua, Guatemala, several years ago, and we turn to it any time we need that “extra something” added to a starchy side dish.
It pairs well with just about any type of protein. It’s a heady mix of vegetables with some chicken broth to round things out, but for a purely vegetarian celebration, vegetable broth is also delicious (Black beans scream for the starring role, here.) A nice medley of red-ripe tomatoes is perfect to round out your feast.

My husband grew up in Michigan and his mother was originally from the hills of Kentucky. I first had Chocolate Gravy one winter when she was visiting. Growing up in the South, too, I was surprised that I had never had it nor even heard about it. Anyway it was rich and delicious and she served it over hot, flaky biscuits.
My husband told me that when he and his cousin were running cross country in high school, before each Saturday race, his mother would make them biscuits and chocolate gravy. Now thanks to Cheap. Fast. Good! I am preparing your version of biscuits and chocolate gravy. Except now instead of heading to a cross country race we will be headed to our son's swim meet. Thanks for helping me carry on a family tradition.
