About

Growing up I did enjoy baking and I had a few staples dessert that I would make regularly. Besides anything with chocolate, milk rice was always on the list. Actually, my dad and grandmother use to make this often. Both had their own version, and both desserts were enjoyed without a grain of resistance. Easy to make and nothing to it besides keeping a watchful eye to the pan that it will not scorch and burn.
