Mmm! It's Rice Pudding Day!

No, seriously! I saw this morning on www.daysoftheyear.com that Aug 9th is Rice Pudding Day!

I absolutely LOVE rice pudding, but never seem to enjoy it other than at a buffet...so I put aside my to-do list and whipped up a batch!


I used the 'Creamy Rice Pudding Recipe' from allrecipes.com. It's a nice, basic recipe that got the best ratings! YAY!


1) cooking up the rice! (i used long grain white, because that's all I had..apparently if you use short grain(or medium grain) it has a better texture. Long grain tastes fine to me, and satisfied the rice pudding craving! :)

2) Mmm..simmering with the milk and sugar.

3) Removed from heat and stirring in the final ingredients. (Don't decide to sample it here just yet, you'll burn your tongue...trust me! lol) *oh! and I added in the nutmeg and cinnamon in here..i prefer it mixed right in.

4) I sent mine to the refridgerator to chill in a pretty Pyrex dish...must remember not to sample again until AFTER dinner! ;)

* I like mine served cold in a pretty dish, topped with some whipped cream and sprinkled with a bit more cinnamon.


So many people I have talked to are either lovers or haters of rice pudding...which team are you on?

Oh yum!! I love rice pudding too :) I have a creamy version and baked version that I alternate between, depending on my mood. This one sounds so easy and delicious! I will have to try it out :) Thanks for sharing!

I am not a big fan of rice pudding. :( One of the things I wish I could love. I make it for the kids with leftover rice. They love it!

Mmmmm... yummy! I should try this sometime, though my husband isn't a rice pudding fan so every time I suggest it, he looks at me funny. I've tried making it with leftover rice and it just doesn't turn out the same. :) Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this. I love rice pudding but it never occurs to me to go make a pot. It;s so easy and delicious.

My kiddies will be getting some for school snacks :)
