The other night I turned leftover cooked brown rice into rice pudding. I'm not sure how the idea popped into my head in the first place. I had never actually made rice pudding before. Perhaps it was reading The Poky Little Puppy to my son. "I smell something.....rice pudding! And home they went as fast… Continue reading Brown Rice Pudding with Cranberries & Maple Syrup

Whole Wheat Pastry Flour is My New BFF
Whole wheat pastry flour and I have been flirting for a while. I bought it in small quantities from the bulk bins and used it here and there when a recipe specifically called for it.
