Introduction

I use Red rice instead of brown if I can find it at the grocery store. This makes a great lunch to pack for work. Just add a piece of fruit and you're full all day! Or have it with some steamed veggies as a one dish supper. I use Red rice instead of brown if I can find it at the grocery store. This makes a great lunch to pack for work.
