Breakfast

We tried this easy, tasty, super-cheap, super-good-for-you rice porridge this morning. Yum yum!!

The night before, soak 1 cup brown rice (not quick cooking) in 4 cups water. (Soaking increases the nutrition and helps your body absorb the good stuff better and easier.) In the morning, just turn on the stove and simmer the rice about 30 minutues, or until done. It will be a bit watery, like oatmeal. Add a bit of sweetener and some raisins...milk for a complete protein. Our kids gobbled this up! I wish I had made more!

Amy,
We made this this morning. It was great. I'm still learning to love hot cereals (even oatmeal - I wasn't raised on them). I put some raisins, milk, and brown sugar with it. Next time I think I'll substitute a cup of the water with milk. Thanks!!
