This is my great-great-grandma’s Mexican rice recipe. Her rice recipe has been passed down for generations and is very important to my family. Before I could remember, I was always eating her rice. My grandma uses the recipe to make the rice at every family gathering, and for everyone to enjoy. Whenever it’s someone's birthday or if I’m feeling sad, her famous rice always does the job to bring everyone together and bring smiles. Every time I eat the rice, I get reminded of my roots and how important family is to me. This isn't just a normal food dish, this is a recipe that brings my family together and will be passed on to generations for everyone to enjoy and feel loved.
