This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I didn't even notice it in this dish. The other vegetables really overpowered it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a bunch of veggies in my fridge that need to be used up, and this is a great way to do it.

This vegetable brown rice was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the rice was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.
