This is a lower sodium, low fat, and generally "diet friendly" version of Spanish rice and beans dish. The chicken broth replaces the oil normally used. The broth, along with the veggies, beans, & salsa, helps maintain moisture and really adds to the overall flavor. This dish is also packed with essential vitamins and minerals! I hope you enjoy it. :)

I have always loved the taste of fresh tomato sauce but I was always to scared to make it. This recipe is similar to others but I added my own twist because I was either missing some ingredients or the recipe required to much time. I was impressed with my end result considering that it had been my first time. I hope you all enjoy it. =)

I start with Lehi Roller Mill Whole Grain Heart Healthy Hotcake mix as a base for this recipe. You can use any pancake mix you like. I use Lehi because it is a very wholesome food containing whole wheat flour, whole flaxseed meal, nonfat dry milk, eggwhites, and dry buttermilk. I add old fashioned oats and cold milled flaxseed in this recipe, so even if you use a basic pancake mix, you will end up with a nice whole grain waffle.
