Potluck at work!

Tomorrow is our potluck at work and I am so excited about tasting different dishes! I love food, yes I do! I am a food-a-holic! (if that is even a word!)
I am thinking of making Spanish Paella, something different and I absolutely love everything about this dish…It has rice, chicken…what else do you want? LOL… Below is the recipe. I will let you know how it turns out! But it suppose to look like the picture below: lol



Ingredients

1 teaspoon saffron threads

• 2 cups medium-grain calrose rice
• 3 cups salt-reduced chicken stock

Cooking instructions:

• Step 1 Place saffron threads in a bowl. Add boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes.
