This is going to sound flip, but I'm serious. As I'm smelling a lovely chicken friccasee simmering on the stove, I'm wondering, without bread or pasta or rice, how do you sop up the sauce? Just drink it like soup?
I don't think there is anything wrong with rice, brown rice I mean. Is there?
+1 for the Quinoa. That's a very yummy grain, no gluten, and extremely versatile.
