Fruited Brown Rice

Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.

Combine rice, grapes, and pecans in a medium bowl. Stir in vinegar and remaining ingredients. Serve immediately, or cover and chill up to 24 hours, if desired.

Note: Take a hike! For fitness, that is. A few times around the block can help you lose weight, burn fat, and decrease your risk of heart disease. Walking can be done almost anywhere or anytime and it requires no equipment except a sturdy pair of shoes.
