know what ya mean though, brown rice aint the tastiest stuff. you can try sauteing like some onions in olive oil and throwing em in there. same with peppers,carrot, celery, maybe some broccoli if you got some. just look through your fridge and see what ya got. left over ham? toss it in there. just dice it up small, try alittle bit of it with the rice and see if it tastes good to you, experiment alittle and see what works. you might come up with your own new recipe.

do u have a chicken breast (or any chicken,beef,or shrimp) that you can cut up and cook too? if so, cut it up then cook it until done-add some soy sauce then pour over your rice.

the rice would be good with diced onions,bell peppers,and soy sauce as well (my daughter loves this one)
