Rice Pudding!

Hello fellow readers. Today we are going to talk about rice pudding. Have you notice that on certain days, you wake up and you crave something specifically like eggs and bacon for breakfast. Maybe a salad or a nice thick juicy burger for lunch. Maybe a nice prime rib or dinner or a simple Mac and Cheese comfort food? It can vary from spicy to sweet, hearty or creamy. Everyone's palate is different and that's what makes people have unique experience with food. What I might find to be a simple semi interesting dish, could be the most amazing, "It taste just like my grandmother use to make it," dish for you and that is what makes food great.

So today I am going to post a recipe for Rice Pudding. It is a very simple recipe, and it can be made with ingredients that you already have at home. The original recipe comes from Giada. Hers is very simple as well and maybe one of this days I will try and make it the way she has it done. I will post the link to her recipe.

Giada's Rice Pudding Recipe

I took the portion of the rice, milk, and sugar from hers and kept them the same but everything else I changed.

Our version:

-5 cups whole milk
-2/3 cups of rice
-2 Tbps vanilla extract
-1/2 cup of sugar
-1 cinnamon stick (If no stick add 1 tsp of cinnamon)

1. Combine rice, milk and cinnamon stick (powder) in a medium sauce pan, and bring to a boil. 
2. Reduce to a simmer until the rice is tender, stirring frequently so the rice doesn't stick to the bottom and them milk doesn't scorch, about 25 minutes.
3. Mix in the sugar and vanilla extract and cook until the mixture thickens.
4. Spoon mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold.

Bakers Tips:
Remember, a recipe most of the time is just for you to know what type of technique the writer used. Never be afraid to change a few things to really make the recipe your own.
