The other day I ran across a super simple recipe for baked brown rice.  I normally cook my brown rice on the stove and thought it might be a little easier to bake.  Amy over at Simply Sugar & Gluten-free<\/a> posted her version of this recipe the other day & I just knew that I had to try it.  <\/p>\n

I modified the recipe slightly.  Here is the  recipe that I used:<\/p>\n

Coconut Baked Brown Rice<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup light coconut milk (I used Trader Joe’s)<\/p>\n

1 1\/3 cup water<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups brown rice (I used short grain)<\/p>\n

1 tsp salt<\/p>\n

Dash of pepper<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.  Microwave liquids together until they come to a boil.<\/p>\n

2.  Place rice & salt in a 1.5 qt. baking dish.  <\/p>\n

3.  Pour boiling liquid over rice & stir.  <\/p>\n

4.  Cover well and then bake for an hour (until rice is tender & all liquid is absorbed).  <\/p>\n

5.  Remove cover & fluff with fork.  Cover lightly & let sit for 5 min & serve. <\/p>\n

This rice was awesome!!  Jon raved about it!  The coconut milk added a great flavor.   I served this along side of BBQ chicken breast, asparagus & salad.  This recipe is super easy & now the way I will be making rice from now on! <\/p>\n

I found a new use for some of my raspberries<\/a> that I bought the other day.  Ice cubes!!!  I took 5 frozen raspberries & placed them in my glass of chardonnay.  OMG….awesome!  The frozen raspberries kept the chardonnay<\/strong> super cold and didn’t dilute it.  Also, the raspberries were super tasty once the wine was gone.  <\/p>\n

Lara Bar<\/a> news.  Yesterday I posted about the shrinking Lara Bars.<\/a>  Sarah from Lara Bar<\/a> contacted me and has offered to replace any of the bars that were smaller than the “normal”  size.  Thank you Sarah & Lara Bar<\/a>.  \ud83d\ude42  <\/p>\n

Happy hump day!!  Only 2 more days until the long weekend<\/strong>!!  Do you have any fun plans for the Holiday weekend?  <\/p>\n
