A couple of years ago, I got tested for food sensitivities. I’d been having horrible migraines and was feeling congested and pretty low-energy. As part of the diet therapy following the food sensitivity testing, I followed a pretty limited diet (only about 20 foods!)
So I became creative with the limited list of foods that I could eat, including cooking with brown rice. On that list: almonds, rice, raspberries, banana, lemon and honey. Ta-dah! I created my Almond Raspberry Banana Baked Rice.
While I can thankfully eat many more foods now, this remains one of my favorite tasty and healthy dishes, and it works for breakfast or dessert. If eating for breakfast, pair it with a protein such as a plain Greek yogurt or a couple of scrambled eggs.
