And to the poster who didn’t know why you would want to freeze cooked rice, I am guessing you use instant rice, is that right? Because regular long grain white rice takes a good half hour to cook and can stick or scorch if you don’t watch it closely, it helps to make a bunch all at once when you aren’t trying to juggle it with making the rest of a meal, and then you can have dinner ready in a snap without spending 5 times as much money for the convenience of the instant stuff. Or at least that’s my take on it.

Do you have a favorite muffin pan? Brand?? Mine have seen better days and no matter what I do they seem to stick.

Thanks for sharing the recipes. Going to make those Cranberry Wheat muffins this week.
