From the heart
I have so many great memories growing up in the kitchen with my grandma and my mom. When we visited our grandma, she would make all of our favorite dishes. Grandma loved to try new recipes so since this was before the copy machine days, she would copy recipes by hand from the newspaper. Or cut them out of the newspaper. Wow, we are so far ahead of that now. We can search and finding anything we need on the internet. Through this time at home due to the Covid-19, I am keeping it simple all day, every day. I pray that you are making memories with your family and making the best of the time that you have together because life is short.
Food for the soul!
“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” John 14:16
Things are hard when we try to do things in our own strength. We don’t have to do things alone. We have a “Helper” and He is with all of the time to help us. Lean on God’s grace today to help you get through the day.

Creamy Dreamy Chocolate Rice Pudding is a fantastic and easy kid-friendly recipe to eat at breakfast or for dessert. I like to eat rice pudding for dessert, but you can make it for breakfast. Your kids will love this recipe. If you prefer to make regular rice pudding, you can leave out the chocolate and add in cinnamon and raisins. Either way, you are going to love it!
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Growing up, my mom would make us rice for breakfast. She would cook the rice and add in a little butter, milk, and a teaspoon of sugar. Rice for breakfast may be a little old fashioned and out of style. However, there are so many things that aren’t out of style like the memories we hold dear to our hearts. I hope that you are making memories with your family. Make the best of the time that you have together because life is short.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
(full amounts in the downloadable recipe below)
- Milk
- Jasmin Rice
- Salt
- Egg
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Chocolate Chips or Raisins
HOW DO YOU MAKE THE CREAMY DREAMY RICE PUDDING?
1. In a medium saucepan stir together the rice, milk, and a dash of salt. Heat to a boil over high heat. Keep stirring because the rice will stick or boil over. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
2. In a small bowl stir together the egg and brown sugar. When the rice is tender, use a half a cup of the mixture and add one teaspoon of the mixture at a time to the egg and brown sugar to temper the mixture. Please be careful to not scramble your egg. Add the brown sugar/egg mixture to the rice mixture. Add in vanilla and cinnamon. Cook until thickened which is about 5 minutes. (160 degrees F) You can add in the chocolate chips. If you prefer raisins, please wait to add the raisins in when you have completed the cooking process.

Psalms 107:9 says, “For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.”
Without a doubt, I have been in a place where I felt like a lost traveler. Are you feeling lost amongst all the things going on in the world? Look to God no matter what is going on around you. God will fill your life with good things.
