Quinoa Pudding makes the BEST comfort food for tough days

 

Do you ever hear about or see something, and then it is ALL you think about?

Joy the Baker made the most insane rice pudding

and it is ALL I want to eat.

 

Rice pudding is something you either love or hate, and I am firmly in the LOVE group. It also is probably the most perfect of comfort foods, and I could really use that today.

 

 

I had an early morning meeting at Charlie’s school today. He has been trying SO very hard, but the work is simply not easy for him. In fact, it seems almost impossible at times. It is painful for me to watch him struggle, so today’s meeting was a VERY emotional one.

In the end, we all agreed he needs extra support, and now I need to bury myself in some pudding.

I only had brown rice in the pantry, and I was NOT waiting that long for pudding, so I decided to try quinoa.

LOVED it, and will quite possibly finish the pot for dinner.

 

 

Enjoy!
