Garlic Rice Pilaf

We were so hungry that I forgot to take a picture! This is a really light, quick side dish that would pair great with most proteins. The garlic and onion taste was very subtle, so maybe next time I'll actually measure out roughly 1/8 tsp. of each. I love that this uses a mix of rice and orzo, because rice can tend to get really boring, and orzo is awesome. I think this will be a great addition to our side dish repetoire.
