IRRESISTABLE RICE PUDDING

[Juicygirl]

Here is another nutritious treat that will appeal to your sweet tooth!! It's good for you and just plain - well - GOOD! It's loaded with protein and carbohydrate.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup rice (UNCOOKED)
4 cups low fat milk (skim or 1%)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup raisins (MMMMM)
Light whipped topping (optional)
Butter flavored nonstick cooking spray

Wash rice thoroughly in running water. Combine with remaining ingredients in large bowl, then pour into a 2 quart baking dish sprayed with the cooking spray. Bake at 300 degrees F for two hours or until rice is tender, stirring several times during the first hour. Top with light whipped topping if desired and sprinkle with cinnamon. You can also add a cherry on top of the whipped cream just for more of a touch of sweetness and it looks good too.

I don't normally like rice pudding, but to my surprise... I liked this. Must have been the crappy way my grandmother prepared it. LOL

ENJOY!
