Rice Pudding

Have you ever cooked a dish and made to much rice? Well do I have a recipe to solve that problem. Growing up, my mom made some super yummy treat, but one of my all time favorites happen to be rice pudding. Its funny how each one of us kids have our favorite and when we go home for a visit, my mom knows just what treat to make to please each of us kids! What a great mom!!
When I made the soup I posted yesterday, I cooked a little extra rice and surprise my kids with some warm rice pudding. The picture is not the greatest, they were in a hurry to eat it, but you get the idea. We do like it warm, but you are free to cook it and refrigerate it for later or the next day. This was the first time I have ever made it for my kids and Jeremy has asked me for the last few days when I am going to make it again!

Rice Pudding
McCain Family Favorite

5 Tbsp corn starch
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup half and half cream
3 egg yolks
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups cooked rice

In a small bowl mix the yolks together. Mix cornstarch, sugar and salt in a 3-quart saucepan. Add milk and cream and cook over medium heat until smooth and thick, stirring constantly. Pour small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks: blend thoroughly, then pour mixture back into saucepan. Doing this will prevent the egg yolks from cooking to fast when adding them to the saucepan. Cook another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Once butter is melted, add the rice and stir.  Pour into dishes and enjoy!

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
