Cinnamon Rice Pudding Mix
"I am making menu baskets for Christmas this year and was looking for a dessert that could be made from a mix. The recipe is courtesy of USA Rice Federation. It goes together quickly and was just what I was looking for. The cooking time and serving size are for the finished product, not the mix."

This was a winner before I started as cinnamon is one of my favorite things. I used short grain brown rice and an extra 2/3 cup of milk (could have been a cup but actually it's great as is too). As I knew that it would take longer than the recipe states with the brown rice so I put it in the oven to bake @325 F for an hr and 20 mins. For the milk I used 1 can of fat free evap and made up the rest with skim milk. The slow cooking in the oven and canned milk gave it a lovely caramelizing that was ideal with the cinnamon and vanillin, I have to be honest and mention that I didn't use any butter at all and I didn't miss it. Splenda was subbed for the sugar. Thanks Paula for a recipe that not only accepted my subs but turned out a wonderful treat! Made for Photo Tag -
I received this Cinnamon Rice Pudding Mix from PaulaG as part of a large basket full of mixes to make an entire dinner. I must admit that I don't remember ever having rice pudding before, but now I am a fan. The creamy rice with the cinnamon was easy to make and it tasted great both warm the night I fixed it and cold the next day from the frig. I plan on making this for my grand daughter. I think she will really like this one. Thanks PaulaG.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
