Mahatma Rice Review - See what all the Bzz is about!

Awhile back, I signed up to be a BzzAgent after a friend told me about it. Recently I received my first BzzCampaign opportunity to do a review for Mahatma rice. I was pleasantly surprised to receive two full size bags of rice to try - Mahatma White Rice and Mahatma Brown Rice. In addition, I received several coupons and recipe cards to pass out to my family and friends.

Mahatma is the new name of S&W Rice and is the number one selling rice brand in the U.S. I was already familiar with the Mahatma Saffron Yellow Rice, which I love, so I was excited to try these other versions. Apparently my hubby was excited too, because he insisted on making a dish with the brown rice himself. Now how could I not love that?

He chose to make the Spanish Rice recipe found on the Mahatma website, but used brown rice instead of the white. Also, he substituted the 2 cups of stewed tomatoes that the recipe called for with 2 cups of salsa. Since he used the brown rice the cooking time was a little longer - about 45 minutes. It turned out great! This is actually going to be a regular meal in our house now. I highly recommend this brown rice. It does not have that hard and chewy texture like a lot of brown rice I've tried. It's soft and seriously yummy.

For the white rice I made the Simple Rice Pilaf recipe. It turned out good too. The white rice is soft and cooks up great. Now I can't wait to try out some of the other recipes on the Mahatma website.

So to sum it up, I give Mahatma rice two thumbs up. (Four actually, cause hubby gives it two thumbs up too.) Look for it at your local grocery store and give it a try.

For those interested, I also recommend checking out the BzzAgent website and consider becoming a BzzAgent yourselves. It's fun and I can't wait for my next BzzCampaign opportunity!

Free Tax Filing and Tax Help Options

If your looking for free tax filing options, check out the huge list of Free File sources provided by none other than the good 'ol Internal Revenue Service at IRS.gov.

Learn more about free e-file options for your federal taxes on the Free File web page.

Another source I found is MyFreeTaxes.com, sponsored by Walmart. This offers some options for filing both state and federal taxes for free online using software provided by H&R Block. There's even help finding free local tax help centers where you have the option of filing your taxes in person.

More local tax help may be offered at your local library or community centers, so check around.

For those in Seattle, see Free Tax Help at Seattle Public Library for a schedule of times and branch locations offering assistance.

The free tax help and free file options won't work for everyone, but they are great for those who can use them.

Happy Tax Filing!
