People are dropping like flies this flu season, but Dr. Cookie has the answer!
If you don’t have Dr. Cookie’s cookbook, then you really need to pick one up.
Dr. Cookies Rice Pudding
Dr. Cookie has an amazing collection of low calorie treats, including this easy rice pudding recipe - the perfect comfort food for my sick family.
Dr. Cookies Rice Pudding
I had fun with this recipe.
I’m a big saver of cups of rice. They often find their way to the freezer for later use, and as luck would have it, this cup of rice included a colorful black rice.
The addition of chopped walnuts and black rice made for a creamy comfort food treat for my ailing family.
I hope your loved ones have managed to avoid this flu season, but if not, treat them to Dr. Cookie’s remedy. I promise they’ll feel better soon.
Happy, healthy cooking!
* Cook’s Note – I wasn’t careful when I measured the rice, so it had a denser texture and could have been creamier. I’ll be making it again, and the next time I’ll watch my measurements.

I hadn’t had rice pudding in years. My mom used to make tapioca pudding all the time too. I’ll have to make some of that. It used to be a favorite.
Sounds wonderful!! I have never made rice pudding before. Perhaps I’ll have to try.

It’s a terrific use for leftover rice. Enjoy the rest of your week.
What a petty I’m not into rice. I think I need another year or so. But it looks so delicious. Do you think I could replace rice with pasta?

I’m not thinking it would work well with pasta, but you could give it a try. I’d love to hear how it works out!
What a eat idea to use up the leftover rice…I love rice pudding and this one with raisins and spices looks terrific.
Happy 2013 Kristi and have a great week!
Hi Juliana! It is a great use for leftover rice. I’ll be making it again for sure. Have a terrific rest of your week.
This is a wonderful recipe! I usually don’t cook brown rice, but I think for this pudding I will cook it
Thanks for sharing this great comfort food! I hope your family is getting better! Take care of yourself and stay warm and healthy!

We brown rice fans in this house. Trader Joe’s has a nutty brand I love. I’m off to check out your honey cake. I have a jar of local honey just waiting to be put to use.
Very nutritious with the add of black rice and walnuts. I bet it tastes awesome!

I’m such a Dr. Cookie cookbook fan. It’s an old book, but well loved.
I found black rice at our local PCC and I’ve been hooked ever since. It makes such a dramatic presentation.
Gosh, there’s both a nasty virus and also flu going around. This looks like terrific comfort food, though. I haven’t had a real rice pudding in ages (the ones I make with leftover rice in the microwave don’t count!). Really good stuff – thanks.

Unfortunately I’ve been sick… and I would like to eat this rice pudding! I’ve never had rice pudding before (I think…) and I definitely need this.
Looks yummy!

It sure has been a rough cold and flu season! I sure hope you’re feeling better!
Can you believe I’ve never made rice pudding before? What a shame! I need to remedy that ASAP. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are having a week full of good food and laughter. Happy to start my day here!
It’s not something I’ve made too often myself, but it sure made my sick family happy. Have a terrific weekend!
Oh we were sick just before Christmas and now that schools have started we are preparing for the second round! I am keeping this for the difficult days that may come!

Hi Katerina – it’s been a tough, tough flu season around here. I’ll be glad when spring comes.
Ooo, super yum! I love rice puddings and it’s so colorful with the black rice mixed in. Great mix of ingredients to flavor it.

As I said the only thing I did was not measure the rice. Next time I will so it’s creamier. Have a fantastic weekend!
Yum! This would make me feel better for sure.
