Christy….I would suggest investing in a rice cooker. Rice will basically cook itself in a cooker but if you don’t want to cook, I would say to simmer brown rice on the stove for around 45 minutes. Try using quinoa instead of brown rice if you haven’t-it is a complete protien, more healthier than brown rice, and cooks in 15-20 minutes. I end up cooking my quinoa for 20 minutes.

Hope this helps some!

Speaking of rice, would you maybe do a post about how to cook rice? I feel silly, but I just can’t seem to cook brown rice very well. I don’t know what to look for and how to know it’s finished. I just follow the directions on the back of the box, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t…
