Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
I’m going to start with a quick apology.
I have been so absent from posting because, well… I have been absent from cooking. The past two weeks I have been basically living on cereal and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Did you know that if you melt a bit of cheese on your skillet and then put your toasted grilled cheese on top, you get the best crust EVER?
Try it – you will never see a grilled cheese sandwich the same again.
For the past few days we have experience early fall weather. Cool nights, gorgeous days, filled with a nice breeze and bright sunshine.
Today was no exception, we woke up to the perfect day to lazy out at home and just be together.
Tom and I did not have to think twice about it – we were going to park ourselves on our couch, snuggle and watch tons of TV.
Just like I did not think twice about what to make for our lunch. Our December Gutsy Cook menu options it’s all about comfort and warmth, and this week’s option had the perfect choice for a cool day like today.
We continue the rice theme in the Gutsy Cooks Club. This week it was to “make it sweet “ and the options were so good, that it was very hard to narrow it down to just one.
I’m a die-hard fan of rice pudding – side note: one day I will post my mother’s rice pudding in order to put all the other puddings to shame out there – Of course I will do this as soon as get her to share the recipe.
But, back to rice pudding. If you see the options, all were a variation of rice pudding. And boy did I want to make each and everyone one of them. It really came down between the Rice Pudding ice pops (hello!! Rice Pudding Ice Pops… show me a person that would not be jumping up and down for one of those) and the intriguing Coconut Rice Fingers.
I bet you can guest which ones I went with?
