It's been so hot, I haven't felt like cooking, but this is a quick and easy dinner-and very tasty.
1 cup of brown rice
2 cups of water
1 tsp. vegetable bouillon( I like "Better than Bouillon" brand the best)
1/4 to 1/2 cup green peppers
1/4 to 1/2 cup of red peppers
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped carrots
or use celery if you don't have peppers on hand
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped celery
Bring water, bouillon, and rice to a boil. Turn heat down to simmer and cook for about 15 minutes. Throw in the celery and carrots and cook another 15 to 20 minutes. I threw the vegetables into the food processor to chop them up. You could add any other vegetables you'd like.
