Notes
Age: 6 months and up sparingly
Cheese: it's best to grate your own cheese from a block for this recipe so it won't clump together.
Brown Rice: you will use 2 cups of brown short-grain rice with 4 cups of water and cook for 45-55 minutes or until tender. Take off burner and let sit for 10 minutes before stirring in other ingredients.
