Homemade Rice Cereal

Written by on March 8, 2011 in At the Homestead, Recipes - No comments

As the cost of food continues to rise due to importation from overseas (and the craziness over there), this family of four continues to reinvent the way we do things here in order to be more self sufficient on our modest budget.

This is a great recipe for something that most people assume only comes in a box. Have you ever wondered where rice cereal comes from? You’ve got it…rice! By buying our rice organically, you can make rice cereal for your little one that is MUCH healthier and less expensive than the boxed variety. Enjoy!

Annie’s Rice Cereal

1/2 Cup Brown Rice (we prefer brown because of the dense nutrients)
1 Cup Water

1. Bring liquid to boil in saucepan. Add the rice and stir.
2. Simmer for 20 minutes or according to package directions; stir 1/2 way through cooking time.
3. When rice is finished and a bit cool, add it in 1/2 cup measurements with liquid of your choice (breastmilk, formula, water etc.) and puree as needed. Keep a watch as you puree so that the rice does not turn into paste!
4. Serve warm mixed with fruits, veggies and liquid of your choice.

May be frozen but upon thawing, but may turn a bit rubbery.
