For the longest time my everyday breakfast was cooked brown rice with a little olive oil and salt because regular oatmeal doesn't always agree with me. Now I've switched to this homey, comforting breakfast, which has a little more sweetness and flavor. I find a pinch of spice gives it a warm, cozy taste and aroma.
