This sounds great! I can’t wait to try. I have trouble with brown rice. Even when I soak first, it gives me painful gas, not sexy!!! Any suggestions?

Amy, thank you for stopping by. You may have an intolerance to wheat. However, don’t despair! You can replace the rice for quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, millet, and other grains that are allergen, and gluten free. You can also use veggies or legumes instead of grains. :)
