Rice as breakfast cereal is good. But the best I've made for myself is with barley. Make a big pot of barley anytime. In the morning, scoop a bunch in a bowl, cover with generous amount of brown sugar and some butter, and nuke it for 2-3 minutes. Stop about 1.5 minues in and stir. The sugar melts and merges with the butter and makes a great syrup. Tastes great with the oats, even better than rice. I don't say it's the healthiest thing in the world, but at least it's a whole grain and it's better (and tastes better) than packaged cereal. Dirt cheap, too.
