Diet Dish: Brown Rice Cereal

This cereal substitute may not exactly be the most creative dish I'll propose, but it can be a nice change of pace from oatmeal. The dish is sweet enough to whet a sweets craving without adding any artificial sweetner or sugar (gasp!). It may even help you sleep. According to MayoClinic.com, you may even try it as a healthy late night snack for those restless nights.
