Brown rice is healthier but it still has a considerable carb count. Be sure to read the nutrition label and allow for it in your meal plan. I, personally, love the taste of brown rice but it never seems to cook properly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I never can get it to turn out the way I like. Elsewhere in the recipe section is a recipe for a rice substitute composed of shredded cauliflower. While I've never cared much for the taste of cauliflower, it might be worth exploring.

This is great until you get to: Serve over rice. It's not bad even without the rice but that's where I have my downfall. Every time I make it, I fix some rice 'for my roommate' and guess who eats a bunch of it?
