When cooking ahead and freezing meals or dishes you have to find what works for your family and what WORKS in the FREEZER. Some times textures change or they just fall apart. White rice DOES NOT freeze well. Brown Rice however, does freeze pretty well and since it is whole grain and is really actually good for you ( you can read more about that HERE).

We have used brown rice in a couple of our monthly freezer cooking menus but it is also nice to have in the freezer for easy meals. TO FREEZE: Cook and cool completely, then freeze in freezer bags. TO — USE:  Just throw it int he fridge in the morning and it will be thawed in the evening and you just have to warm.

Here are a few ideas for using this frozen rice in a easy meal.

• Fried Rice
• Cheesy broccoli Rice
• Mexican Rice
