Vegetable-Rice Mixture (heavy on the onions)

The snow made me want to eat something hearty tonight for dinner, so while I tried to write an abstract at home this afternoon, I also boiled water for 1 cup of brown rice and began sauteing the following in some extra virgin olive oil:

- 1 yellow onion

- 1 chopped carrot

- ¼ diced yellow pepper

- 1/3 diced tomato

- 1 head of broccoli

- ½ c of diced mushrooms

- ½ sliced avocado (I wasn't sure about using the avocado, but it actually made a nice addition).

I then combined the plump rice and mixed veggies and I then added a handful of sesame seeds, a box of yellow raisins, and 1/3 c vegetable broth. The result is lovely, and I plan to eat a bit now and pack some away for tonight’s mega-long dress rehearsal. Did I mention that I am going to be in a play? I think I did.

And here is one from me over the weekend after a snowfall. A freakin' snow angel:)
