Welcome to my world. Cooking has always been one of my passions and I thought it would be great fun to explore blogging about it. We love to cook and eat at home most nights. And we love to eat on the healthy side, not to say that we don't love our desserts, cuz we do...I am the first to admit I will eat a light dinner to indulge in dessert. That is my weak spot.

Brown Rice and Vegetables
It was the end of the week and I wanted to clean out the fridge, so I used all of the leftover vegetables and came up with this dish. It was soo good and healthy I will make it again soon.
For the Rice:
1 cup brown rice
2 cups water
salt
oil
Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a pan and add in the rice. Let cook just for a minute, then add in the water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes till done.
For the Vegetables:
1 zuchini
2 cups mushrooms
3 green onions
3 carrots
2 garlic cloves
1 roma tomato, chopped
Heat 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil in a large pan on the stove top. Chop all vegetables, and add to pan and cook. Sprinkly generously with Celery Salt, and Pepper. I do like my vegetables al dente, but cook them how you like. When the rice and the vegetables are both done, mix them together, and add in the chopped roma tomato.
This is a Good Gluten Free Dish, and it is also good served room temperature. I made extra and had it for lunch a few days and it was a nice break from my usual soups and salads.
How do you love your brown rice?
