Today's Tip: Rice Portion

I can only eat rice if it is really mushy....So when I cook Red Beans and Rice (Mahattma brand ONLY!) I add an extra cup of water and cook it till all the water is absorbed. Otherwise, tho I love rice, I don't eat it. Smoochies Arlies PS A whole cup of rice, but only 1/2 cup of pasta??? Does that mean that rice is twice as good for you????
