Ah, but they’re oh so good at impersonating a veggie!

**Fishbicycle,** I do the Spanish Rice-a-Roni and stewed tomatos thing too. There’s similar brands that don’t call for stewed tomatos but I add them anyway and adjust the amount of water I use accordingly. Haven’t tried Zatarain’s yet. Tomorrow’s grocery day so I’ll check it out.
