Awesome post! I love to make-do with food. I love experimenting in the kitchen. It doesn’t always work out like I hope it will. But usually things are still edible, one time and never again. LOL…

I like Ann’s idea about mixing the different rice together. I am going to try this with my clan. Even though they are fine with brown rice. I have a huge bag of white and if I mix it in, maybe I can use it up faster and still have some of the benefits of the healthier brown rice at the same time.

Great post, it has got me to thinking about my own storage and how to use Make-Do in my rice situation. THANKS!!!!!

I wish I were as creative as you are in the kitchen–how clever to adapt a “professional” recipe to what you have on hand.

I don’t know if this will be helpful for your kiddoes, but my kids transitioned to brown rice more happily when I cooked a little of both and served half white/half brown rice. Also, I found some nice Jasmine brown rice from Trader Joe’s (but I’ll bet health food stores like Whole Foods would have it in the bulk containers). It’s very tasty–better than the stubby brown rice that comes in the mainstream supermarkets.

Thanks for participating (and inspiring)!
