I still remember the sweet aroma of Mom's Italian rice pudding baking as us kids came through the door from school. Growing up, homemade rice pudding was a treat for us kids at least a once a month. The intoxicating smell of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg simmering in the oven really got our tastes buds going!
It is funny, my husband remembers a dish that his Mom used to make when he was growing up. She called it rice and raisins with milk. He and his siblings loved it. Alices's rice and raisins was made in a whole different way than my families. Both delicious. I'll ask Dan's sisters about her recipe and get back to you all about it. Rice pudding was not only a healthy and inexpensive dessert but would fill up an entire hungry family!
In today's world of fast food and unhealthy eating, we should try to get back to some of the simple basics that many of our parents raised us with.
