Rice pudding for breakfast; not anytime soon

The first recipe I made was  a rice pudding recipe. It was to be a healtheir form of oatmeal that could be eaten for breakfast. You had to mix rice milk, brown rice, and dried cranberries. Then cook it in a slow cooker with a towel over. Upon making it, it didn't look too bad. That thought was quickly changed after I tasted it. It was beyond bland and the dried cranberries did nothing to help it. I guess if you added sugar to it, it may have been better, but honestly it was not worth the calories. The recipe said it made 8 servings and each serving was about 140 calories. The entire recipe made what would be considered more like 3 or 4 servings. It was definitely not worth the calories or the length of time it took to cook it. Let's just say that this recipe was definitely a fail. Definitely not a new breakfast food for me anytime soon.

  1. Your blog looks good. I too like trying to make new things and unfortunately they don't always turn out the way I would like them to.

  2. Try buying fresh rice at an Oriental store, it will never taste bland no matter how you cook it. The only problem is buying it in such a large quantity, about 25 pounds. But it is so good you can share it with your friends.
    Ignore the calories and add cooked rice to a can of coconut milk, then warm it up with dried fruit and fresh corn on the cob. First of course, cook and slice off the corn .
