    I always add beans, EVOO, and veggies to my brown rice. It's delicious like that! (to me, anyway)

    make it with broth, add garlic powder or crushed garlic while it cooking with just a small amt of butter, have it with things like Jambalaya I make my own taco bowls with pinto beans brown rice, green salsa, fajita chicken and cheese

    butter and salt :) Once I started eating brown rice and wheat/whole grain pasta...I found that I started liking them better than the white rice/pastas

    I normally cook rice with a stock cube, either vegetable or chicken. Rice is also good with baked beans (I know that might sound odd) or a bit of skimmed milk and low fat cheese is nice :)

    I eat brown rice pretty much every night. I mixed it up with mixed veggies, a bit of butter and salt and pepper, also either chicken breast or salmon cut up into it.

    Sometimes I'll add a little bit of low-sodium soy sauce to my brown rice to give it some more flavor, or mix it with chicken and veggies.

    I also like mixing brown rice and cottage cheese together as a snack (or with some turkey chili as a meal).

    Brown rice made with either water or chicken broth
    3-4oz shredded chicken
    3-4 tbsp honey teriyaki marinade
    1 cup pineapple

    KInda like stir fry. You can add more veggies but I ran out lol. Usually I add broccoli, baby corn and mushrooms.

    I stir fry brown rice with pineapple, onion, and low sodium soy sauce. I like it spicy so I also add red chili flakes or some cayenne pepper. Super easy! Make sure you precook the rice and let it cool before you stir fry though.

    I sometimes mix half brown and white rice together. I just love white rice so much. lol I like it plain though but I cook my meat and veggies in a broth sauce to spoon over it.
