Breakfast, A Smart Start

Brown Rice and Raisins

This breakfast, using brown rice, is nutrient dense and that is our goal. Makes 2 servings (just multiply it to make more than two serves).

 

1/2 c. long grain brown rice
1 and 1/4 c. water
1 tsp. butter
dash of sea salt
___________
1/4 c. raisins
___________
3/4 c. milk**
cinnamon sugar to taste

Bring rice, water, butter, and salt to boiling; cover. Turn down heat to low; simmer 35 minutes. Turn off heat; add raisins, cover, let sit 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in milk and cinnamon sugar. Makes 2 servings.

**to make milk from dry: 3 T. dry milk powder + 3/4 c. water, shake in a jar with tight lid, until smooth; chill ahead for better flavor (can also add one drop of vanilla before chilling).
