1 c brown rice cooked to package directions
1 c milk
1/3 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter or margarine
After rice is cooked (leftover brown rice works great too) heat the milk, sugar vanilla and butter/marg in a med sauce pan of med heat until it is mixed well. Add rice. Be careful not to over heat the milk or it will spoil. Heat until it becomes thick and creamy. Serve warm.
My kids loved this, could be a great breakfast or a dessert, which is what I served it as this afternoon. They seriously gobbled it up!

Carrots Side Dish
Tonight while looking for something to serve my family I was stumped as to what to serve along side our twice stuffed potatoes. I had carrots though so I just improvised and everyone wanted more, so I would say this is easy and a great recipe for us.
1 tbsp Butter
4 carrots cut thin on the bias
coarse salt
ground black pepper
In a med saute pan melt butter. Add the carrots and saute until tender and sightly carmelized. Add salt and pepper near end of cooking. Serve hot. Makes enough for our family to have a good sized portion. Remember not too hot on the saute or you will burn the carrots (which have alot of natural sugars) and not cook them through.

This is obviously TERRIBLE for you! But it is GOOOOOODDDD!! So don't indulge too often! Our whole family like this recipe for a meal. Obviously this isn't all we eat! I would like to find a good recipe for onion sandwhiches and then we can really emulate an early 20th century family!
