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.

Olive Oil Parmesan Popcorn

Olive Oil + Parmesan Popcorn // shutterbean

Usually I love my popcorn plain with a lot of salt, but the other day I switched it up by drizzling our popcorn with extra virgin olive oil and throwing in a big spoonful of grated parmesan cheese. Have you ever tried Olive Oil Parmesan Popcorn? It’s incredible!  I love when you get a popcorn kernel that’s saturated in oil and smothered in cheese. A little bit of fresh parsley might be a nice addition too. And if you’re looking for a good popcorn maker, you MUST get yourself a whirley pop. It’s a game changer!!!
