Wild Rice Recipe of the Week

Now that the weather has changed, I think we are all looking for more warm and hearty comfort like meals.  As fall has gone into full swing this is one of the meals I look forward to making.  At times I do add a cup of cooked diced chicken and serve it with a loaf of homemade baked bread fresh out of the oven.
