I need to make a few disclaimers for this skillet real quick.  First, it was delicious.  Hands down the best skillet I have made to date.  And I am not tooting my own horn on this one.  I know it was the best because we didn’t have any leftovers.  None!  Well, I take that back.  We had a small Tupperware leftover that Ryon ate for breakfast the next day.  [Seriously.]  Second, the pictures don’t do it justice.  I tried to get some good pictures [I took like 50 plus!] but it just doesn’t photograph well.  That’s ok.  The taste makes up for its lack of photogenic-ness. 

Ok, one more disclaimer.  I love baby showers and I’ve been to quite a few of them.  [There is something in the water yall].  So when Jen asked if I wanted to join I started thinking what I would bring a new mom.  [My mind skipped past the baby shower and went straight to the sweet squishy baby.]  And honestly, I would bring Cathy this dish in a heartbeat.  I remember the newborn daze.  [Not to be confused with days.]  Its beautiful and amazing but its tough.  And if I could I would run over and whip up this fiesta rice skillet for her.  

And then you see all the other amazing recipes that everyone made and forget about the skillet dinner.  You can have one of these 22 sweets and treats for dinner!  [Hey, you deserve it!  You just had a baby!]  So be sure to stop by the other sites and checked out their recipes after you have had your fill of fiesta rice skillet.  And run over and tell Cathy congrats on her upcoming baby girl!
