Starch Switcheroo

Pork Rib-eyes w/ a smokehouse maple rub, Ranch Style Beans, and...um...??? ehhh...well...Ugh!...feeding a starch consumer in a trying-to-break-the starch-addiction kitchen can be trying.  If I had some cottage cheese, I would have sliced my grape tomatoes, a cucumber, and green onion, tossing it all together and call it good.  Back in the day, it would have been accompanied by a ranch & bacon pasta salad...peas and carrots. But, those are days gone by...

Scouring the fridge, I find my unopened steamed rice from the Chinese takeout the other day.  Hmm...ranch, tomato, green onion, some sweet corn kernels! Yes!!! I didn't tell the Big Guy what was in store for him, but I made him close his eyes while I was shoving it in his face for a taste test. You like? It's alright, he says. He eats 2 helpings.

It won't be making this again anytime soon, not because it wasn't good, because...are you even paying attention??? IT'S ILLEGAL! But, I thought I'd share for the 'I can do starch but just not gluten' crowd.  Or, if you find yourself in a pinch, needing to feed a huge crowd...for a make-ahead 4th of July feast, maybe? You're welcome! :)
