My {healthy} Rice Pudding

I'm on a kick. Health kick. Again... It's a cycle I go through. I love food and I do love healthy food, but it seems I just love food too much. Like most of us right?? Right? So a couple days ago I started planning (again) and eating (again) healthy meals. Aaand, looking at Pintrest. Yeah. Pintrest is NOT a good place to go if you're trying to eat healthy! :/ In my defense, I follow boards from the Undressed Skeleton, and she's got some fabu food ideas pinned up there!

I needed breakfast (dessert) ideas. Quick stuff. I love Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, but that can get boring after a while. So I looked and looked and looked... and created my own something special. Rice Pudding!

Here's what I used:

- Organic Brown Rice- cook a whole bunch and use it all week!
- Chia Seeds
- Cinnamon
- Raw Sugar
- Walnuts
-Fat Free Half & Half (FFHH)

Here's what I did:

Used about a cup of the rice, topped with chia seeds and cinnamon and put it in a Tupperware container in the fridge overnight. (This was my breakfast one day) Now chia seeds do a magical thing. They kinda plump up and add a wonderful "puddingness" to it all. Believe me. The next morning I added a bit of FFHH heated it up on the microwave and then mixed in a few walnut pieces and a bit of raw sugar. I don't measure things really so use as much or as little of this stuff as you'd like.  It was deelish!
