What is Congee you ask? It’s the process of boiling rice in a lot of water until it’s soft. This was a dish my husband introduced me to when we were first dating. It’s one of my favorite dishes to make for dinner. It’s easy to make, super yummy and only 5 Weight Watchers points. This is also a great dish if your feeling under the weather as it’s easy on your digestion system.
