These were very dry I followed the directions and re-read the recipe multiple times thinking I must've missed something because they were soo dry and would not mash up. Seems like there should be more water or something? Pros: Easy Cons: Dry wouldn't mash up Read More

Fantastic This is our new go-to whether for a side dish or for tortilla-stuffing for packed lunches. The prep is very simple and taste is fantastic. When we don't have any broth handy in small quantity we've used water instead with no negative impact on flavor. Pros: Great tasting easy prep healthy Read More
