How To Make: Cream of Rice Cereal WITH KIDS! (GF)

We love Cream of Rice cereal at our house! I'm always looking for more ways to save money and stretch our dollars through out the month on groceries. I realized that I was spending money on something I could make myself - at over HALF the price, and get MORE bang for my buck!

Before I get into the tutorial on HOW exactly to do it - I want to cover some of the risks and health benefits of rice in your diet. 

*WARNING*

Firstly, rice is at a high risk of being contaminated with arsenic from the soil and water it was grown in. I only recommend purchasing Organic jasmine rice, or organic brown rice from origins other than China, Mexico and the US - where the arsenic levels in their rice have been found to be the highest. 

*Imported basmati and jasmine rices showed about half to one-eighth the level of arsenic as regular rices grown in the

Southern U.S.

*The easiest way to reduce your consumption of arsenic from rice, is to soak/rinse it all in cold water for 10 minutes in a strainer - then flatten it out to dry on a paper towel! I always clean my rice, before making recipes - and don't eat white rice, especially, from the Southern, US!
