Stovetop Vanilla Pudding

I'm working on the Stovetop Vanilla Pudding recipe.

The first couple times cooked, the pudding was too loose for me and way too sweet.
I've cut the sugar in half.
Added 1T cornstarch.

Looks like with those modifications, this might be the right recipe for me.
We like to add fresh fruit - blueberries, strawberries, etc. Perfect touch!

Roasting Veggies and Fruits


What a fabulous way to fix veggies and fruit.
And sooooo dang simple.
1. Cut up your fruits or veggies to about the same (eatable) size
2. Veggies: add a touch of oil & herbs.  Fruit: add a touch of sugar and herbs.
3.  Roast in the oven (from 350-400heat) until fork tender.

The roasting does something wonderful to the taste - takes all bitterness out of veggies. (If you don't believe me try roasting kale chips. And brussel sprouts!)
And fruit becomes caramelized. Just a touch.  Not too sweet but definitely changed forever.
And can be varied with ANY herb you want. Endless possibilities.

Do yourself a favor - use HALF (or LESS) of whatever amount of sugar they recommend. You only need a sprinkle of sugar - if that! Let the fruit taste like real fruit - not sugar.

Remember: do not use citrus or onions at all unless you know they are not one of your triggers*.

After tasting the goodness of roasting food in the over, you might even want to buy an outside grill - they taste even better (if that is possible)
