    Discovering old favorites is awesome, right? So here's another old favorite: wild rice!

    Wild rice is not as cool and happening as quinoa or freekeh, but you shouldn't forget about it because it too is a delicious whole grain. (And did you know it's actually a grass and not rice at all? It's a fact!)

    Wild rice is one of those things that I rarely make, but whenever I do, I think, "I need to make this more often." And then I don't because I don't really know what to do with it.

    Well, here's what I did with it. I roasted some grapes and sliced shallots and tossed them with wild rice, walnuts, and sage.

    It's simple, but delicious - it's one of those recipes that seems like there's not much to it and you don't expect it to blow you away when you try it, but then it does. Yes, I'm telling you that this wild rice recipe will blow your mind.

    If you haven't had roasted grapes before, I'm pretty sure they're about to be your new favorite thing.

    This wild rice with grapes makes a totally delicious one bowl meal all year long. But it's especially perfect as a Thanksgiving side dish.

    Hearty enough to eat a bowl for dinner - but delicious enough that your non-vegetarian guests will love a scoop as a side. Win-win!
