Taste can be trained to change. At first, we didn't like brown rice but after trying it several times, our taste buds started getting used to it.   Now  it  is  a favorite.  Serve this hearty breakfast with whole wheat toast and fruit*.

1/2 c. long grain brown rice

1 and 1/4 c. water

1 tsp. margarine or butter

______________________

1/4 c. raisins

______________________

3/4 c. milk**

dash of sea salt

2 T. + 1 to 2 tsp. cinnamon sugar

Bring rice, water, margarine/butter to boiling; cover.  Turn down heat to low; simmer 35 minutes. Turn off heat; add raisins, cover, let sit 10 to 15 minutes.   Stir in milk,  sea salt,  cinnamon sugar.    Makes  two servings. 

**to make milk:   3 T. dry milk powder +  3/4 c. water, shake in a jar with tight lid until smooth; chill ahead for better flavor (can also add one drop of vanilla before chilling).

*if filled up after eating rice/raisins and toast, save the fruit for a snack.
