Breakfast Rice Pudding

Rice-a-Palooza
This delightful rice pudding from Hungry Girl is good anytime of the day whether you want a warm breakfast treat or cold afternoon snack. In my opinion, rice is a pretty bland ingredient but this recipe adds a ton of flavor to it. The rice simmers in a milk broth to form creamy concoction that  tastes like a dessert risotto. Delicious!
