I used to buy a container of rice pudding from the refrigerated section of our grocery store. I also used to order it whenever weโ€™re in our local Diner as my dessert or afternoon treat. But that all changed. 

Thanks to my neighbor Cindy, I make my own home made rice pudding now! The first time I tasted home made rice pudding was when my neighbor Cindy brought a bowl to my house- that must have been more than 15 years ago. Sheโ€™s been my neighbor for 21 years. She would cook a batch and bring some to my house for my family to eat. Itโ€™s always a treat when she walks into my kitchen with a bowl of warm rice pudding.

Everyone in my family loves it! I had to ask her for the recipe and from then on, I started making it for my family. I had to omit the raisins whenever I made it- my family liked it plain- just a dash of cinnamon, and YUM! 

Whatโ€™s better than eggs, butter, and milk all together? Itโ€™s creamy, filling, and full of protein. I double up on the recipe every time I make it. 

You can serve this warm or cold. You can also put whip cream on top. Itโ€™s very simple to make. When it all starts boiling, lower the heat and make sure you are constantly stirring it- in this way, youโ€™ll avoid the rice sticking to the bottom of the pot. 

A lot of patience…a lot of love. This is one special treat my whole family loves to eat! 

Try it โค๏ธ Now I bring my neighbor Cindy a bowl whenever I make itโ€ฆ. itโ€™s a neighborly thing!
