An excellent rice pudding, I don't remember Granny baking hers, but this one is delish. It is creamy and the perfect consistency. I don't care for raisins, so I left those out. I also used a can of evaporated milk, I think that's what gave it it's wonderful richness. Try it! It turns out to be about half evaporated and half regular. I doubled the vanilla, and used a high-quality vanilla. I did garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg. Next time I will try just baking it, and not stirring it every 15. Had a couple bites for breakfast, yum!

I made this bread for my daughter's birthday brunch. It was everything I hoped for. This bread makes me happy that I put a few bags of frozen cranberries in the freezer at Thanksgiving! Perfect, I followed the recipe just as written since it was for an occassion, next time I may try a little wheat flour and a little less sugar or substitute some brown sugar. It does take forever to bake, but worth every minute. Thanks!

This soup was great. I didn't have any black beans, so I used small red beans. It was still wonderful, and the kids liked it! I added a few extra spices and more carrots and celery than it called for. Perfect!
