{ricelove bloghop} overnight brown rice breakfast pudding
Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 12:00AM
Some foods are so simple that their ease almost surpasses their great taste. Rice is one of those foods. With little more than some water and a bit of time, rice is delicious all by itself. Honestly, what other side dish can claim that?
The only travesty about the beloved grain, perhaps, is its gross exclusion from breakfast in the U.S., and perhaps the fact that too many of us gravitate toward the not-so-nutrient-rich white variety. I think that's a shame, both from a culinary and nutrition standpoint.
In my quest to find new, healthier whole-grains to explore for breakfast, I realized that brown rice is one of the best places to begin. I always have it on hand; I know how to prepare it perfectly; and I truly have a favorite dish that already fits my early morning sweet tooth: rice pudding.
I've been wanting to do a rice pudding on the blog for a while. So when I was afforded the opportunity to express my #ricelove via a bloghop, I thought... perfect timing!
