Turmeric Coconut Rice

I have been adding turmeric into a lot of my dishes for a while now. Turmeric has many health benefits including improves memory, lessons inflammation, lessens pain and lowers risk of heart disease to just name a few things. This rice dish was easy to make and everyone really liked it so needless to say I will be making this often.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? Where is the time going? I hope everyone has a wonderful and very tasty Thanksgiving!
