Instructions
1
Try and make a big batch of brown rice at the beginning of the week and put it in the refrigerator so it will last you all week. You can also buy Minsley brown rice which only takes 90 seconds to cook in the microwave! You can easily buy Minsley Cooked Brown Rice online. I always try to keep some brown rice, quinoa, millet, or wheat berries in the fridge just in case i’m in a time crunch and don’t have time to wait around for rice to cook! It’s easy to do on Sunday before the work week starts and will definately make dinners easier after a long day at work.
