I just finished lunch at my desk. For new years day I made a rice salad with a wild rice and long grain mix. I lightly sauted chopped carrots, celery and green peppers and added to rice along some chopped green onion and a can of drained black eyed peas (you could use any canned bean, kidney or chick pea would work too) Then added some fat free italian dressing and salt and pepper to taste. It keeps in the fridge for several days, up to 10 or twelve I'd guess. I scoop some out into a little tupperware bowl and by lunch time it's at room temp, which is how I prefer it. Along with a little cutie orange it makes a good healthy lunch that's pretty filling.
