Found your recipe while looking for a way to use up a lot of skim milk. It was better than I expected! Of course it doesn't taste as rich as pudding made with higher-fat milk, but it tastes EXACTLY like those cups of pre-made fat-free pudding from the store, if not better. And it's so simple and quick to throw together. I tried a second batch with stevia (8 Truvia packets) as an experiment, and that came out with the same texture, so I bet any sugar substitute would work. (Made for Bargain Basement tag game.)

I've always been in love with Hawaii. I went on vacation there and have wanted to go back ever since and live there. Im a very healthy person, I work out everyday and try to eat whats best for my body.I enjoy being active; i bike, run, kayak, walk and do whatever I can to get my blood pumping! I'm currently a junior in college, majoring in Fine Arts. My hope is to become an Art Therapist. Currently I'm in a relationship with my boyfriend, Mark. He balances my crazy life with his calm ways.
As far as baking and cooking, I've had a love for it since I was little. It runs in the family too, my great grandmother made the best cookies and homemade noodles and fried chicken. My grandmother makes the most amazing dinner rolls and my other gma makes wonderful gumbo. I enjoy baking the most; cookies and fresh baked breads are my faves to make. All in all I just enjoy being in the kitchen and making food that gets rave reviews.
