Lemony Brown Rice

This is one of my go to side dishes for when I don't have time to think about side dishes or I forget to plan one (what?!)  I always have everything on hand and it is quick and easy to make.  Be warned this rice is VERY lemony (I love lemon.  I always say if I was stuck on a dessert island I'd want to have lemons with me.)  Anyway, if you don't like things too lemony just cut back on the lemon juice to your liking!  Enjoy!
