So, summer is coming upon us soon and we’d like to drop a few LB’s so Mike can fit into his yellow polka dot bikini ;) We have been eating a lot of brown rice lately, which honestly, I could probably eat every day! Brown rice can get a little boring if you don’t spruce it up. We have been eating our brown rice with vegetables, but decided to go for a sweet brown rice dish a few nights ago. It was delicious! I love the crunchiness of the celery and the sweetness from the apples and dried cranberries. I think the sunflower seeds give this dish a nuttiness tying it all together.
Brown rice is really easy to make. You basically boil 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice, add a little vegan butter, and sometimes I’ll even throw in a vegetable bouillon cube. Bring it all to a boil, and turn down to simmer for about 25 minutes. After most of the water has evaporated, take off heat, let it sit for a minute and fluff with a fork. You can basically add anything to brown rice. It’s good plain too and most of all, it’s good for you!
Happy cooking!
