Kids love rice, so why not make this as a side dish for dinner and save some for your child's lunch the next day, warmed up and popped into a vacuum bottle? You can also divide it into smaller containers to freeze.

A little curry powder gives this rice dish a quick flavour boost. If you can't find a fresh pomegranate, add the same amount of golden raisins, dried currants or chopped dried apricots instead.
It might come as a surprise that one of the most popular desserts in such an elegant restaurant as Canoe is a homey rice pudding -- fancied up, of course.
This all-season salad showcases wild rice. However, you can replace it with another Prairie crop, such as pearl barley or wheat berries.
This high-carbohydrate side dish has whole grain brown rice, which has a low-glycemic index (or is slow acting). It's also low in fat and includes legumes, which contain magnesium.
Rice replaces bread in this hearty gluten-free stuffing. Slowly caramelized shallots add layers of flavour, while a sprinkling of crispy fried shallots delivers a satisfying crunch. The rice mixture is best made the day of, but if you'd like to do some prep work ahead of time, chop the veggies and caramelize the shallots the day before.
Sub in different vegetables depending on what you have in your crisper. Make sure to check the labels for the rice vinegar and tamari, because some brands contain gluten.
Consider this dish as a Greek paella: Greek because of the classic shrimp, feta and dill combo; paella because all the ingredients are cooked with the rice and served at the table out of the pan.
Cooking the rice in milk makes a pudding that's creamy even with lowfat 1% or 2% milk. Dried fruits, especially apricots, add extra calcium; you can also use prunes, figs or dates. The pudding will thicken as it cools; if it gets too thick, stir in a little extra milk.
Large portobello mushrooms are a delicious canvas for a spinach-and-feta stuffing. Quick-cooking rice blends cut down on prep time and help make your meal complete.
