Getting back into good habits

As you can tell from the infrequent posts, I have had a hard time keeping up with not only posting healthy ideas but having healthy actions. I've had an extra part time job that takes up my evening and weekends and leaves very little room for keeping good eating and lifestyle habits. My body is now clearly sending me signals that it's time to get back to doing well.

So last night John and I had an excellent tasting, fast, healthy meal that we made at home. Using our handy rice cooker we made some brown rice and mixed in some sauteed carrots, onions, and chick peas. By seasoning with simple pepper and tamari sauce it showcased the natural flavors of the foods.

So when you are rushing for something to eat remember how easy it can be to mix together some brown rice and a few vegetables. If you have pre-cooked brown rice kept in your fridge, it goes even faster!

What are some of your favorite mix-ins for rice to make a quick and delicious meal?
