This post is brought to you in partnership with the USA Rice Federation and Zojirushi. Thanks for supporting foods and brands I love and use!
Guys, is there any better way to Celebrate National Rice Month than with a month’s worth of healthy rice recipes AND a Zojirushi rice cooker giveaway? I think not.
Here’s the scoop:
I asked my registered dietitian food blogging friends and colleagues for their best healthy rice recipes, so you know these recipes aren’t just tasty and satisfying, they’re all dietitian-approved.
AND…
I’m giving one lucky reader a Zojirushi rice cooker just like the one I have, to make your life and your belly a little bit happier. Trust me, it’s a game-changer in the kitchen.
If you like rice (and really, who doesn’t?) you’ll LOVE this appliance. It cooks up to 5.5 cups of rice, and it’s fitted with all of the bells and whistles. It guarantees a perfect pot of rice every time because it has settings for various types of rice (including sprouted rice), a set-it-and-forget-it timer, and a warming function (great for when you want to prep dinner early and eat later). It also has a handy steamer tray, so you can steam veggies or fish while your rice cooks – nothing better than a one-pot meal!
It’s valued at up to $150, but it could be yours for FREE if you:
- you leave a comment on this post telling me what rice recipe you would use it to make

I miss my old rice cooker, but it wasn’t this fancy! I do love my Zojirushi bread machine, though! I would make a full on Korean feast with bulgogi, banchan and lots of kimchi!
I never realized what a convenience it was! And that Korean feast sounds delicious! Gook Luck!
An Iowa favorite, rice and raisins served warm with milk.
That sounds like the most perfect comfort food! Good luck!
There’s so much I could make with a rice cooker! I’d try my hand at making biryani, then I’d make a classic – chicken rice.

As it starts to cool off in this part of the world, I start jonesing for rice. I’ve heard these rice cookers are marvelous! We’d be eating a lot more donburi-type dishes. The picture of the Vegetarian Greek Rice Casserole above caught my attention!
