Hey,
On this Thankful Thursday, let’s celebrate a pantry staple that quietly supports so many of our meals, Brown Rice. It may not be flashy, but this wholesome grain is a true foundation food, nourishing, grounding and endlessly versatile.
Why We’re Thankful for Brown Rice:
- Whole Grain Goodness: Packed with fiber, B vitamins and minerals
- Steady Energy: Slow-digesting carbs help maintain blood sugar balance
- Budget-Friendly & Filling: A great value that truly satisfies
- Naturally Gluten-Free: Gentle on digestion and easy to love
- So Versatile: Works beautifully in sweet or savory dishes
Easy Ways to Love It More:
- Build a hearty gypsy bowl with roasted veggies, beans, greens and your favorite sauce
- Stir into soups or stews for a hearty upgrade
- Enjoy it for breakfast with cinnamon & fruit
- Mix with fresh herbs, lemon juice and chopped veggies for a vibrant grain salad
- Batch cook and freeze for quick, no-stress meals
Whether it’s the quiet star of your weeknight dinners or the steady support under your favorite toppings, brown rice reminds us that simple food is powerful food.
Here’s to the nourishing basics we can always count on.
With gratitude & grains.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
