Cheesy Brown Rice
Make a big batch of brown rice at the beginning of the week and have it ready for reheating in your refrigerator, or buy precooked brown rice in the freezer section of the grocery store. Though this likely sounds odd, we much preferred the Laughing Cow Light Gourmet Cheese Bites over the Light Original Swiss Cheese wedges in this recipe. When you compare the packages, you’ll see they are similar, but everyone in my test kitchen agreed the squares taste better. So trust us when we say it’s worth opening the ten squares instead of using a smaller number of wedges.
