124 Laura December 5, 2011 at 3:32 am: Our quickest dinner idea is anything using brown rice. I make a lot of it each week and then portion it our into freezer bags and freeze them. I then rip off the bag and place it in a covered glass bowl and microwave it. Love it. We then just add a meat (which is usually previously frozen as well) and some veggies. Super fast and easy. inkomite at gmail.com

136 Amy February 8, 2012 at 3:48 am: Have you made larger versions of this? I don't have mini loaf pans like that. What would be the cooking times for a larger loaf?
137 Jamie Cooks It Up! February 8, 2012 at 3:47 pm: Hey Amy,
Nice to hear from you. You can make this into one regular sized loaf and it will turn out just as nicely. I would imagine you would need to bake it for about an hour. Good luck! Hope it turns out great.
~Jamie
138 Amy February 14, 2012 at 9:11 pm: I made it into two loaves (bread pan size) and I think it cooked for about an hour. Turned out delicious. In fact, I posted this on my blog about it:

Whenever Zach says “Mom, this was really good – put it on our 'make-again' list. Whose recipe was it?” I almost always respond – “Who do you think?” and then we both say “Jamie Cooks It Up”. Thanks for all the great recipes that feed a family of boys with left-overs!
139 Jamie Cooks It Up! February 14, 2012 at 9:12 pm: Great! So glad it turned out well. I love that recipe as well. Think I'll make it this week. Have a good one!

140 wthornton October 1, 2012 at 9:58 am: Spaghetti with meat sauce is my quick go to dinner on a busy night.
141 denise November 9, 2012 at 7:51 pm: I made this tonight and it turned out so tasty and wonderful!
