As I am typing this, I just finished eating a bar of my 2nd batch. Yes, 2nd. I made my first batch yesterday and it was marvelous. Today, I made my 2nd batch using all healthy ingredients just to see if there is a difference. I used whole wheat flour, egg substitute, fat-free sour cream, light margerine and Splenda. And guess what?? It is still marvelous. Now I can enjoy these bars without all the guilt! Thanks for the recipe.

I substituted light margerine for shortening and it still turned out perfect! A delicious biscuit without all the extra fat!!! Yummy!

I was looking for the recipe which is similar to my favorite boxed black bean and rice. I guess this is close. I did few changes to suit my taste however. I used 3/4 short grain brown rice with 2 cups vegetable broth and 1 1/2 cup chicken broth. Added 2/3 tsp cayenne pepper, 2/3 tsp chilli powder and about 1 tsp pepper flakes. I know it probably sounds crazy to some people, but I love spicy food. Even with this extra addtion, it is not that spicy for me. I added a couple dashes of italian seasoning to give it more flavor. It turns out great. Thanks for the recipe!
