When deciding what to make for dinner, I usually ask my family what they want to eat. If we are grilling, they love to have Rice Pilaf as a side dish. I always have the ingredients in my pantry, and my husband and boys have cravings for it. It's definitely a family comfort food. When the boys have been away from home for a couple weeks, I know that they need rice pilaf with dinner.This is the recipe for 4 people. I always double it for my family of 5.
