Place bagged ingredients in a pot along with three cups water and bring to a boil. Stir. Cover and lower heat to a simmer. Cook for five minutes and then let stand for five minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Optional: For extra protein, mix in pouched tuna, salmon, or chicken, and for sweetness, add Craisins.
