Quite difficult finding ingredients in UK
We found the goji berries at a health food store. Sprouts, and a smaller family owned one.
this recipe is good.
Wolfberry is also known as goji berry, which is becoming more and more popular because of its properties. It is found in health-oriented stores.
Stevia powder is a natural, carb-free sweetener. You can read a little more about it here http://www.trimdownclub.com/the-best-way-to-sweeten-your-tea-2/.
looks and sounds good to me! Marilyn
Hello Trim Down Club, Had my first meal with this recipe today! I had never cooked wild rice myself, I’ve only eaten it at restaurant but it was pretty good if I say so myself. Exchanged the vegetable for artichokes and that was interesting. Haven’t eaten too much of those. Prawns were good too. I couldn’t find everything I was shopping for, but my first time out the gate, it will get better. Along with being interested to see how my husbands reacts to it and the portions are soooooooooooooo much smaller than we’re use to. I really enjoyed the fact that I was eating a little healthier.
Wolfberry?? Unknown ingredients are very offputting!
