Goya is pretty good, or Near East.

Come on. I'd bet my tailfeathers you could do better on your own than
some boxed stuff.

Don't need the box use Knorr powdered chicken broth with tomato as the
seasoning "water" for the rice. Got a pack of frozen peas & carrots - throw
in a tablespoon or 2.

Dimitri,

That'll be worth a try. I only wonder about Knorr's sodium content
because of the high blood pressure in me.

For the rice, I'll use Trader Joe's frozen organic brown rice. Microwave
ready in three minutes. I shortcut where I can. <g>

Thanks!

Best,

Andy

To each cup of rice one packet of Goya Sazon is as Spanish/Mexican is
it gets.

Goya products are almost always reliable. My former boss gave me what
was left ofsome stuff that came in a plastic/cellophane packet (the
label was missing). That was great. I wish I knew. She got it as a
gift and can't remember the name. I like Rice a Roni's "Spanish" and
"Mexican Style" rice mixes. Scratch is fun - without a recipe> It
comes out different every time!
