Rice pudding

Let's go with something most of us can just whip up with what we have around.
Rice, milk, sugar, and vanilla.

Rice Pudding
feeds 4-6
1 cup rice
5 cups milk (whole milk it just taste better LOL)
1 cup sugar (to your own taste)
1 teaspoon fake vanilla
OR
1 vanilla bean (cut in half and scrape out seed, save pod)
That's it!
So, get a pot with a lid (plate) put rice in pot add milk, and everything else mix it around. Put on med high heat bring to a slow boil. Turn temp down to low lid it and let it go for 20-30min. or to the thickness you like. If it gets to tight just add some more milk.
Then let it sit for a few min. so you don't melt your face off.
Hey that vanilla bean pod if you had one take it and chop it up and add it to some sugar now you got vanilla sugar. You will love it!
Eat , Love and enjoy life!
