Often, when I use rice for dinner, I cook twice as much rice as I will need for that meal. Then, I freeze the leftovers in serving size portions to use for lunches. Then, I found this recipe and decided to try it for breakfast. I LOVED it!!! In fact, I now eat it several times a week.
I found this at CleanandDelicious.com by Dani Spies. She has some really great recipes, and they are always fast and simple (gotta love that!)
Ingredients:
1 cup COOKED brown rice
1/2 cup milk (any type you like)

1/2 apple, diced
Few dashes of cinnamon
Directions:
Combine rice and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat in microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Stir in maple syrup and cinnamon. Top with raisins, apple and walnuts. Enjoy!!
