Cook some meat, tofu, meat substitute. Add gravy and serve on rice with a side of steamed veggies.

Soup- Clean out the crisper and make some soup with stock or bouillon. Add rice to thicken.

Quiche- Make a crust of two cups of rice, one beaten egg, and one tablespoon of grated parmesan. Press into a greased 9 inch pan. Bake the crust for three minutes at 400 degrees.
Fill with your favorite quiche ingredients. The Tightwad Gazette Universal Quiche is a great guide for ideas.


Dessert-
Indian Rice Pudding (kheer)

Add a cup and a half of basmati rice to two cups of whole milk. Let it come to a boil, stirring frequently. Add half a cup of coconut milk (I buy dehydrated and add water). Add half cup of sugar, a handful of raisins, 1/4 tsp. of ground cardamom, 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios. Simmer until thickened.
