Easy Homemade Rice Pudding Recipe
Kari's Great Aunt Betty always made this recipe, as she explains it, it had raisins in it, it was cold...and she thought that it was totally gross!
Kari decided to give this classic comfort food a try with her own spin on things, and she totally fell in love with this recipe. It's best served either warm or at room temperature, and she says..."I could eat it all!"

I have always wanted to try making rice pudding, but have been intimidated because my mom would ALWAYS burn it! I need to give it a try sometime, this looks so good!
