Breakfast ~ Stir Fried Brown Rice with Peppers, Onions & Celery

You read quite a bit about incorporating whole grains into your diet. With that in mind, many people start their day by having high fiber "whole grain" cereal, toast, or muffins for breakfast. However, have you ever considered having the actual grain for breakfast? Cook plenty of grain at a previous evening's meal, such that you have enough left over to warm for a breakfast porridge or meal the following morning. Add steamed or sautéed vegetables for flavor.  In this way, you truly receive all the benefits of the whole grain without the additional sugars and additives found in many packaged cereals.
