*** When you purchase Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, cut a chunk you need and save the rinds. The rinds can be used to add flavor to soups, stews, and pasta sauces. I store the rinds in a freezer bag and just freeze.
**** Wild Rice Blend is a mix of wild rice, long grain brown rice, sweet brown rice, and whole grain black japonica rice. It is very nutty tasting and holds up well.
***** I used leftover meat from my Tuscan Lemon Chicken recipe.
