Since we’re being all healthy ‘n stuff, we’re trying to get in a little more whole grains into our diet. And we’re the kids aren’t so fond of plain brown rice. It isn’t like white rice – you can’t just eat it out of the pot, and enjoy it. So here’s some tips to get ya started – and PLEASE add your own in the comments so we can all see what works!
- I started adding a small bit of brown rice to our white rice (cooked it like white rice except for longer)
- We let the kids put ketchup on it – doesn’t everything taste better with ketchup?
- I’ve started cooking our rice (about 75% brown now)in chicken bouillon, and a couple tablespoons of margarine.
- Serve the rice with a sauce that covers it. Brown/white rice just doesn’t cut it as a stand alone side dish around here like Sweet & Sour or Italian Tomato
- Cook the rice in with the meat in casserole type or slow cooker dishes like easy pork tenderloin or Creamy Comfort Casserole
That’s all I got! Do you have the magic formula to get these kids to eat brown rice?
