Quick Rice Pudding

Quick Rice Pudding // shutterbean

We almost always have leftover rice in our fridge because my boys love rice in the same way I love potatoes.  Last week it was kind of chilly…actually I think it rained! and I wanted something warm and comforting but sweet and cinnamony. I took a scoop of the leftover brown basmati rice, put it in a bowl and poured in a little coconut milk on top (enough to almost cover the rice). Then I stirred in some raisins and cinnamon and microwaved the rice for about a minute. Instant rice pudding! It’s almost like a bowl of steel cut oats but the rice has such a nice bite to it. Butter, brown sugar, bananas walnuts would make great additions. Treat it like you would oatmeal!

Twice Baked Broccoli Cheddar Potatoes

Twice Baked Broccoli Cheddar Baked Potatoes // shutterbean

I loooooooove baked potatoes. Always have. Always will. When I don’t have much time to throw dinner together, I make myself a baked potato with broccoli. Cheddar is always in there somewhere.  Sometimes I exploit the microwave and other times I bake them. I had some leftover cooked broccoli from another recipe so I popped a few potatoes in the oven and….

These cheesy twice baked potatoes with broccoli were born!  What’s not to love about twice baked potatoes? This concoction combines butter, cheese and broccoli- ALL GOOD THINGS. I also added a little bit of hot sauce for good measure.

Make yourself a batch and then eat them for the next few days!

Your future self will thank you. Your current self needs to board the twice baked potato train. Seriously.
