    I've made brown rice and baked it on the oven with corn and eggs and milk...

    I used to have a receipe to cook a whole pound of brown rice and then divide it into measured portions to freeze and microwave for a fast dinner, but I can't find it. It was really nice to have on hand.

    Does anyone do this? I suppose I could just measure the rice and figure it out.

    if you add beans I like black beans as a side you then have a complete protein

    watch the carb cals with that combo but tasty too...top with some fresh salsza and bingo

    You use brown rice like white rice. Add some chicken stock when you are cooking it to add some flavour.

    Make a stir fry and put it over brown rice.

    Cook the brown rice in a beef stock (homemade is lower cal)...today for lunch I had homemade chicken soup 2C for 160 cal..rice 1/4c is 55 cal. Chicken soup is easy and relatively quick it is from cooking light.

    I like to cook it in chicken broth also. Another thing that my kids like is popcorn seasoning sprinkled on top, they love the white cheddar flavor!! :laugh:

    I use it the same way as I would white rice


    Here's another question -
    Why is brown rice better than white rice???/

    I think it's because white rice is bleached so the brown rice has more nutrients in it....same with whole wheat vs. white bread I think!

    Yep, and more fiber too. I like it because it has a chewier texture also. (also, there are different varieties, short grain, medium grain, long grain, etc)

    I love brown rice mixed with salsa. Yum!

    I also like to sprinkle some of the Mrs. Dash seasonings in it or the Montreal Poultry seasoning. Neither have calories (some sodium) and add tons of flavor.

    I love brown rice with a stir fry. I do grilled tofu, peas, baby carrots, broccolli, and it is SO good!

    I love rice as a side to my oriental low-calorie knock-offs. Last night we made Oriental BBQ Beef in foil packets in the oven. Total calories for the beef and veggies was 252. Yum!

    I love brown rice - but it's kinda funky if you cook it in a rice cooker... When I stick to the 10min boiling bag, it's yummy!

    anyone like wild rice? I've had in a mix with brown or white and I bought it by itself, cooked it, and it was like eating seeds...I liked it, but not sure how to incorporate it.

    I put a tablespoon of gyoza dipping sauce (that sauce you dip potstickers in), or else I put my veggie & chicken stir-fry over it!
