If you happen to stay home with your children like I do and have trouble finding new things for lunch, here's one you may not have thought about. My mom used to make this for us when we were little.
Cinnamon Rice
What you will need: Water, Instant rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon
Boil one cup of water. Pour in rice and stir. Remove the pan from the heat and cover for five minutes. After five minutes return to the heat and add some milk and sugar. Maybe about 1/4 cup of milk and a couple tablespoons of sugar. Shake in some cinnamon to your liking. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the liquid has set up.
This recipe doesn't seem like much, but my kiddos love it! Rice has a fair amount of protein as well. When I was young we would put a slice of Velveeta on top of the rice and let it melt. It was the bees knees. I can't say I really enjoy the Velveeta anymore, but who doesn't love Velveeta when they're seven?
I've also thought of cooking this up for breakfast, maybe throw some raisins in. It would be more filling than cold cereal.
That's it! Real simple. Check back later for dinner. I'm thinking Lasagna Soup...
