Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brown Rice

    Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. Usually, it takes about 40-45 minutes to fully cook. Once cooked, set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Grilled Cheese

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place one slice, butter side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer the cheddar cheese on top, then place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until cheese is melted and bread is golden, about another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Veggies and Fruit

    While the grilled cheese is cooking, prepare the mixed veggies. You can steam, sauté, or serve them raw based on preference. Serve alongside fresh fruit.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Meal

    Once everything is cooked, plate the grilled cheese, brown rice, mixed veggies, and fruit. Serve with a choice of kids drink.
