I had some brown rice left over from dinner last night and I was wanting to try and use it up so I was thinking....hmm what I can I do with this for breakfast. Now my usual go to is just add some cinnamon and splenda, heat it up and call it good. But I wanted something different. So I opened my fridge and there stood my Limited Edition Almond Joy Coffee Creamer...BINGO!
Added a little of that and some cinnamon, popped it in the microwave and enjoyed!

    Make fried rice: You can fry a little lean bacon or turkey bacon, toss in some chopped onion, frozen peas, whatever else you want, lastly add the cold rice and heat through, finish by drizzling sauce on it...I like to make a mix of oyster sauce, chicken bouillon and soy, but anything asian tasting will do. (Don't add too much sauce and just heat through or the rice will get sticky)

    I don't associate brown rice with sweet...ewww in my opinion lol. For breakfast the next day, I would dump the leftover rice in my egg beaters and add a few pieces of shredded chicken or the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage. MMMMM

    I'm not sure about breakfast ideas, but for lunch/dinner i'll add a little rice to a light soup to add some substance, or stir fry some veggies and chicken to put over the rice.

    Hi all - I like to make leftover rice into a rice salad with peas/petit pois, chopped spring onion and paprika.

    That sounds yummy! And since I am the only one in this house who will eat brown rice, now I have something to do with the leftovers
