How to Freeze Brown Rice (Gluten Free, Done Dirt Cheap), the Benefits of Soaking Rice, and 6 Quick Brown Rice Based Meals



Sometimes I think as food bloggers we feel compelled to come up with exciting and eye catching foods to wow our readers. But lately I've been getting some emails and questions that have grounded me again, and reminded me that some people are still struggling with the very basics of cooking healthy, gluten free meals that are quick and budget friendly.

Hence the inspiration for the new recipe section I'll be putting together in the next couple of days: Gluten Free, Done Dirt Cheap. Yup, insert AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap tune here.

Brown Rice, Tapioca Starch
Done Dirt Cheap
Gluten free and it's done dirt cheap
Gluten free and it's done dirt cheap
I gotta lotta gluten free 
Done dirt cheap! 

Yes, I'm an uber nerd and these are the things that go through my head when I'm in my kitchen doing things like rolling out gluten free pie dough.

Anyway, in honour of doing gluten free on a budget, I'm sharing how I cook big honkin' batches of brown rice and freeze them for super quick dinners! Brown rice is naturally gluten free and cheap! BUT brown rice seems to be daunting for some. It can be a teeny bit more time consuming to cook than white so some people avoid it, but making and freezing big batches can make healthy dinners quick and easy.

You may now commence head banging in your kitchen.
