Star shaped rice!

This is no recipe, just a fun way for kids to enjoy eating rice! when you cook the rice, just cook it a little longer to make it a little sticky. Take a cookie cutter, spray with pam, put on plate and fill with rice! pack it in there. then slowly pull of the cookie cutter! put other food around it on the plate! Emma just loved this!
