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!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I love this time of year when the temperature drops and it's perfectly acceptable to make and eat all kinds of pumpkin things! I've been meaning to try my hand at cake donuts for sometime now and these pumpkin ones were calling my name.  Unlike yeast donuts that require a few rises and fry up nice and fluffy, these cake donuts come together pretty quickly (with a small chilling period) and are more dense and moist in texture. The outside gets all craggy and crispy which is perfect for collecting all the sugary glaze.  Such a delicious combo of textures and perfectly flavored with pumpkin and spices.  We loved these!! Note: I tried making a few of these in the air fryer as an experiment and was amazed at the difference in texture.  Not in a good way.  The air fryer ones were much tougher and not craggy and crispy.  So stick with frying these in oil and you won't be disappointed.
