Yeast Free Brown Rice Pilaf – Candida Diet Recipe

So I have to admit that I am a brown rice lover.  I honestly prefer the taste of brown rice over white rice.  I do understand that some of you may think that I am completely crazy.  I have run into many people who despise brown rice and just cannot bring themselves to eat it.  I actually live with two of those people. as both my mother and oldest daughter hate brown rice.  It has become a constant fight to get my daughter to eat it so had to come up with a way to jazz it up a bit so that she would eat it.   I was able to find a simple yet flavorful recipe for Brown Rice Pilaf by Halycon Eveon on Recipezaar.  Pilaf is defined as rice seasoned and cooked in broth.  It is the seasoning and broth that bring this dish to life and the thing is that when I make this yeast free brown rice pilaf there are no complaints from neither my mother or daughter.  They truly love this dish and it has saved me from having to buy two types of rice in my house.  This recipe is extremely easy to prepare with only six ingredients and really makes a great side dish for a variety of meals.  For those of you who are having trouble transitioning from white to brown rice this recipe may be exactly what you need.  Once you try it I promise you will want to make it again and again.
