     On Sunday, we had family and friends over for dinner and I made a big Mexican food feast with tacos and burritos.  Lindsey made delicious refried black beans. (Spoiler alert: She will be sharing that recipe soon!) And I made some plain rice to go with everything.  I wasn't sure how much to make with the number of people that were coming (10, plus kids), so I cooked 4 cups of rice.  It made 8 cups of course and by the end of the evening, there was hardly a dent made in that bowl full of rice!  
      My husband said not to worry because he would pack some in his lunches for work.  But, the next day I also realized that I also had some milk that was hitting the expiration date and I knew just what to do.  It was time for a batch of rice pudding!

     For me, rice pudding is a true comfort food.  My mom used to bake it when I was a kid.  It is basically a custard with rice in it.  I know some of you don't love raisins, but they are such a burst of sweetness in this custard that doesn't have a lot of sugar in it.  (Only half of a cup!)  This is a really nice dessert to enjoy during the cold winter months. In some parts of the country, rice pudding is made with maple syrup in it.  That sounds delicious!  And, don't forget, rice pudding is gluten-free! There is even a recipe book all about different varieties of rice pudding! But for me, I stuck to the traditional recipe that I love.

I love the cinnamon taste with the pudding, so I sprinkled extra on my whipped cream.

Comfort food!

Dig in!
     Be sure to store the leftovers in the fridge.  Go ahead!  When you have leftover rice, make some pudding!  So many people have rice cookers now, rice pudding might become your go to dessert! 
       I made those place mats!  You can find the directions for them on Handmade Monthly. 
​       Be sure to come back tomorrow for Friday Faves!

Helen, I'm a huge rice pudding fan, and looking at these photos is making me crave it. I usually make it with raw rice, but it's a great way to use up leftover rice. #GrammysGrid
