September is National Rice Month. The winner of the Party Idea recipe for the 2019 Arkansas Rice Is Nice Contest was 16-year-old Emily Gibson of Jonesboro. She is the daughter of Scott and Karie Gibson.
Emily’s Rice Chips is a recipe she developed through trial and error. She says it’s “…easy, fun to make and goes with any dip.”
