rice pudding

rice pudding, originally uploaded by sproutgirl74.

one of my unwritten resolutions this year was to try more new recipes. add some more interesting zing into the regular set ups. i have lots of veggie cookbooks & millions of torn out recipes stuffed into them. so, i'm trying to weed through them; figure out what i like & pitch what i'm never gonna really try or find out what we don't really like which sounded appetizing at some point in my recipe collecting zealous. also, with the new *red* kitchen aide mixer, baking is on the list too. so this is what i've tried so far:

*chocolate-ginger brownies (yum, thumbs up)
*pumpkin pancakes (another yum when there's extra pumpkin around)
*white bean salad with zucchini and parmesan (sooo easy & super dee-lish, it's going to be a regular)
*shrimp & pasta puttanesca (pretty good, decent mix up to the pasta routine)
*banana bread with ginger (good, but i like martha's recipe better)
*mushroom stroganoff (good, more effort than normal though)
*this here pictured rice pudding (i substituted some of the whole milk for soy, which i don't think was so smart, but all the milk would have done a number on this digestive system i'm afraid. but now i'm on the hunt for another rice pudding recipe that won't reak any havoc)
*carrot cake cupcakes are in the oven as i type...

if you want any of these recipes, just give me a shout, i'll gladly pass them along :)
