Make Rice Cereal Better

Rice cereal can be rather boring. After all, it is puffed rice. Without sugar in the diet, eating it can be a little like eating cardboard. So, in order to avoid that here are a few other ideas to do with rice cereal. Be sure to check out the recipe for rice cereal sausage.

Soup

Looking for a way to add some crunch to your soup? After cooking is complete, sprinkle on rice cereal. This replaces crackers pretty nicely since obviously crackers are hard to find when you are avoiding wheat and yeast. As another alternative, cook the cereal in. That will re-hydrate the rice cereal, giving it flavor and making it behave more like rice (though it won't taste quite like regular rice or taste quite the same).

Fried Cereal

For a quick, simple way to spice up your cereal, toss a cup of rice cereal into a frying pan with cinnamon and some dried fruit. After frying for ten minutes, move off the heat and you've got a pretty good breakfast. Of course, mixing in oatmeal (already cooked) will bind things together more nicely making it easier to pack up and take along.

Sweetened Cereal

With two oranges and half a cup of rice cereal makes for a good breakfast. Sure, you could mix the two together as is. However, baking the cereal along with the oranges for ten minutes will end up with something quite a bit sweeter and quite a bit tastier than simply mixing oranges with plain rice cereal.
