Mom's Dill Lemon Rice

Hello everyone ... I wanted to share good news. My husband and I welcomed a new addition to our family, a baby boy. Its been an exciting couple of months. Motherhood has been a wonderful journey so far with my lil one. 

My Mom is visiting and has taken over the kitchen which has two plus points, I get a break and I get to enjoy her delicious cooking :). She made her version of lemon rice for lunch the other day and it was tasty and nutritious. I just had to post this recipe. Enjoy !
