Brown Rice Pudding (Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free)

For many people, having celiac disease and gluten sensitivities also means having a sensitive tummy. Sometimes it feels like there is nothing you can digest and everything hurts your body. This following recipe is a delicious yet healthy dish that can be served for breakfast or as a late evening dessert.  It is gentle enough for even the most sensitive gluten sufferer to digest (unless of course you can't eat rice). It can be topped with any  of your favorite toppings such as cinnamon, blueberries, maple syrup, toasted nuts or anything else you like.
