HELPFUL TIPS:

1) Cook extra white or brown rice. It can be stored in the refrigerator up to six days; or, the freezer for up to six months.

2) Using a non-stick skillet to brown meat and other vegetables helps reduce the need for added oil.

3) Reheat pita pockets in the microwave for about 10 to 20 seconds to soften.
