I was aimlessly searching my kitchen a few nights ago looking for something different to make. I hadn’t gone grocery shopping for a week and my go to side dishes had dwindled. I had this bag of wild rice in my fridge and I remembered seeing a recipe once for wild rice with apples and pecans in it. So with that in mind, I gave this a try. Turned out really good although my hubs said it was a little too sweet for his liking.
