I ADORE the base of this recipe! I'm gonna' use it to base mine on tonight. But I'm going to use what I have on hand, modify it slightly! I'm gonna' make a homemade sage chicken stock and use that to cook my rice. Gonna' add broccolli, mushrooms, celery, garlic and sage. Also, gonna' use sharp cheddar because it's what I have. Gonna' be eating LARGE tonight!
