Leftovers Can Be Fun

Over the weekend we had ordered Chinese food and as you know you always have too much food. In our household we always have too much rice and usually end up throwing it all out. This week I became convicted about being so wasteful so I decided to make rice pudding and to my shock and surprise it turned out pretty good. So if you have extra rice around the house this is how I did it.




Baked Rice Pudding

2 large eggs
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/4 teaspoons of salt
2 cups of milk
vanilla (optional)
2 cups of cooked rice
1/2 cup of raisins (I prefer the white ones)
Dash of nutmeg
Whipping cream


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and the sugar. Add the scald milk to the mixture. Add the desired amount of vanilla. Add the rice and the raisins. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top and stir. Bake in a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. (*bake in a inch of water). Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream if desired.

Enjoy!!! This is Yummy.

I love rice pudding and make it quite often. I have an easier recipe for you~~~just use a box of instant vanilla pudding, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and your cooked rice. Add some cinnamon and raisins for a delicious treat. Yum!!!
