    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.

    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!
