Receta Side dish: Carrot & Ginger Rice

I've always loved food blogs that take you through a pictorial story of how a dish is made. There's a sense of empowerment, like, "yea, I got this. I can do this." The Pioneer Woman did that for me. She was also my inspiration for using this style of blogging. I followed her blog back when she didn't have a TV show or products at Walmart yet and I loved seeing every single post even if it was something that I didn't eat. I'm sure she's had this same influence on many food bloggers. Those of us that apply this "how-to" style used her as inspiration and made it our own. She truly was the pioneer. With all that being said, I've come to you with some good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news first since I prefer to be let down then…
