Cooking At Home With Uncle Ben's Rice

When preparing homemade meals, we face constant tension between making something healthy and balanced, and making food that our kids will actually eat. You know how it goes when you have picky young'ins. It's a fight between something like frozen chicken nuggets instead of a nice wholesome home cooked dinner. I know that my son would prefer to eat those chicken nuggets and french fries every night of the week. Or maybe you have a child who won't touch anything brown from pasta to bread. I have realized that as my son gets older, he's starting to get more and more picky. While I do appreciate that he's trying to be independent, it can give me a huge headache. So, when Uncle Ben's created a new Whole Grain White Rice that looks and tastes like white rice, but has all of the benefits of whole grains, I was stoked.

With the look, taste and texture of white rice, but packed with whole grains (almost a full day's worth in one serving), Uncle Ben's new Whole Grain White Rice provides a healthy alternative to plain sides like pasta or potatoes. The rice comes in a variety of flavors from traditional Long Grain to Chicken, Broccoli Cheddar, Taco Style and Sweet Tomato, so you can mix-up meals and still know that you're getting whole grains on the table. Plus, with a quick 10-minute prep time, Uncle Ben's Whole Grain White Rice provides a great solution for the nights when jam-packed schedules leave you scrambling for a quick, healthy option.

I loved Uncle Ben's new Whole Grain White Rice. My family would eat it with no problems, and my son wasn't picky at all. I even made shrimp fried rice and he loved it!

We were certainly excited to be able to try out Uncle Ben's new Whole Grain White Rice and I will be using it more in the future!
