Recipe Post! Brown Rice and Vegetables

I have a great recipe I wanted to share with everyone! It's cheap so people like me who overspent at Christmas can buy something cheap and it still be healthy, nutritious, and filling!

This is called Brown Rice and Vegetables.


What you'll need is vegetable broth, the Minute Rice Instant Whole Grain Brown Rice and the Green Giants Weight Watchers Sliced Carrots Sugar Snap Peas, Black Beans and Edamame Lightly Tossed with Butter Sauce.
You should also have some seasonings available to taste. I used about 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a dash of garlic powder.

Heat half a cup vegetable stock, plus half a cup of water. When liquid is boiling, then follow package directions for cooking brown rice. Meanwhile, microwave Green Giant Healthy Weight with carrots, sugar snap peas, black beans and edamame. Mix heated vegetables with cooked rice and add garlic and lemon juice. Mix then serve. Great as a side dish or serves two as a whole meal. Quick and easy! :)

Vegetable broth nutrition information varies, so I didn't add it into the nutrition information and it's ok to cook the rice without the broth, just be sure to follow package directions.

Nutritional Information:
For the whole bowl it'd be: 480 calories,8 g fat (2 g saturated fat) 480 mg sodium, 96 g carbs, 14 g fiber, 6 g sugar, 16 g protein

Not bad, right? :)
